Cultures across the world associate turtles with many similar symbols--wisdom, longevity, and protection, to name a few. In Africa, these symbols exist alongside hundreds of stories of sly old turtles using their hard earned wits to outsmart opponents. Each of these qualities are visible in this endearingly mischievous wedding stool. The bride to be would have rested on this symbolic stool, ensuring longevity, protection, wisdom, and a little playful fun for her marriage to come.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
