French Shelf

France, 20th Century

$345

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Sylvie Favorite

Built in an afternoon from a few boards, this little stand was made for no grander reason than needing somewhere to set things down. Found in Lyon, this simple two-tier piece sets a plank top over a lower shelf, held between two solid end-boards cut into shaped feet. Pieces like it had no name and no pretension, just a useful surface and a shelf beneath, the sort of honest thing a household kept in a kitchen, a scullery, or by a back door. Sylvie uses it beside a sofa as a low side table, books stacked on the shelf below and a lamp on top.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The wood shows some staining and areas of loss along the edges, all part of the character that comes with years of use.

All items are final sale.
