Vintage bar stools, handcrafted in Jodhpur — wholesale for importers, retailers and hospitality.
Genuine solid-wood and wood-and-iron frames in reclaimed, sheesham and mango wood — aged patina, distressed and antique finishes, worn-leather and swivel seats. Counter, bar and spectator heights, manufacturer-direct, compliance-documented and container-ready from a trial order up.
Age and story at counter height — built as a genuine solid-wood product.
Vintage is one of the most consistently searched seating looks in Western retail, and the bar stool is where it shows best: a time-worn frame, an aged finish with real grain and patina, and period details that signal history at a glance. The cues are specific — turned, splayed or riveted legs, exposed bolt heads, aged-brass or bronze hardware, a footrest rubbed bright by use, and a worn-leather or contoured solid-wood seat. We build each stool around a genuine solid-wood frame — frequently reclaimed/old wood whose patina cannot be imitated — and hand-apply the ageing and distressing, so the stool reads as an authentic antique-industrial piece on the shelf yet holds up to the heavy, repeated loading a bar or island demands. Choose a ready design from our catalogue, or hand us a reference and we build the vintage bar stool your channel is asking for.
Four ways we build the vintage bar stool.
Reclaimed & old-wood frames
Salvaged solid-wood frames carrying true age and grain — a deforestation-free, FSC-aligned sustainability story your buyers can market, and the most authentic vintage build we make.

Wood seat on vintage-iron base
A solid-wood seat on a riveted, powder-coated or raw-look wrought-iron base with a worn footrest — the antique-industrial crossover that defines the category for bars and cafés.

Match stool seat height to the counter or bar it serves, allowing roughly 10–12 in (25–30 cm) between the seat and the underside of the top for comfortable legroom. The figures below are standard starting points; we manufacture to your exact drawings and market requirements, so frame wood, ageing depth, seat type, hardware finish, swivel or fixed base and footrest are all specified at the quote stage. Lot and finish traceability is documented where applicable.

Paperwork your customs broker will thank you for.
Import-ready on every container
Our vintage bar stools ship with FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of sheesham where used, backed by ISO, SGS and SEDEX/SMETA audits. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence — a particular strength for reclaimed-wood lines — and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB/TSCA formaldehyde-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 export packing, so your seating clears the port instead of sitting in it. See how we meet EUDR.
Care & durability
Solid-wood seats and frames are kiln-dried to stable moisture levels before joinery, so they hold up to the constant perching and sliding a bar sees. Wipe wood with a soft, slightly damp cloth and refresh with furniture oil or wax; avoid soaking and harsh solvents. Distressed-leather seats take an occasional leather conditioner and a buff, swivel mechanisms are greased and rated for commercial cycles, and iron bases are powder-coated or sealed against scuffing with protective footrest finishes for high-wear venues. Full care guidance ships with every order.
Vintage bar stools — wholesale & export FAQ
What makes a bar stool a vintage bar stool?
The vintage look is about age and story — a time-worn solid-wood or wood-and-iron frame, an aged or distressed finish with visible grain and patina, and period details like turned or riveted legs, exposed bolts, aged-brass or bronze hardware, worn-leather or contoured wood seats, and footrests polished bright by use. We build each stool on a genuine solid-wood frame — often reclaimed/old wood — and hand-apply the ageing, so it reads as an authentic antique-industrial piece on the shelf yet survives real commercial use at the bar.
What woods and finishes suit vintage bar stools best?
Reclaimed/old wood is the heart of the style — its authentic weathered patina and deforestation-free story cannot be faked — with sheesham, mango, acacia and teak used for turned, carved or heavier heritage frames. We finish in distressed matt, antique brown, weathered grey, dark walnut, gunmetal and lightly rubbed-back lacquers, all CARB/TSCA-compliant, and pair wood seats with aged or distressed leather, powder-coated or raw-look iron bases and antique-brass accents.
What seat heights do vintage bar stools come in?
We make three standard heights: counter stools at roughly 24–26 in (61–66 cm) for 35–37 in islands and café counters, bar stools at roughly 29–31 in (74–79 cm) for 40–42 in bar tops, and spectator or extra-tall stools at 33–36 in (84–91 cm) for raised bars. Allow about 10–12 in (25–30 cm) between the seat and the underside of the top for legroom. Adjustable screw-lift seats and fixed heights are both available, and we build to your exact spec for contract projects.
What is the minimum order for wholesale vintage bar stools?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container) so you can approve the wood, ageing, finish and comfort first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate vintage bar stools with industrial tables, other seating, décor and metalware into a single mixed container.
Do vintage bar stools ship assembled or flat-pack?
Leg-based and iron-framed vintage stools knock down well (flat-pack / RTA), which raises container density and cuts breakage and freight — ideal for large importers and online sellers. Fully carved, swivel-mechanism or fixed-weld pieces usually ship assembled or part-assembled. We confirm the right format for each design at the quote stage.
Are your vintage bar stools compliant for US and EU import?
Yes. We document FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of sheesham where used, backed by ISO, SGS and SEDEX/SMETA audits. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB/TSCA formaldehyde-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 export packing.
