Antique Cantor Side Table

France, 19th Century

Cantor stools, or tabourets de chantre, originated in 17th-century France as functional seating for church cantors during services. Crafted from sturdy oak, these stools feature a distinctive demi-lune shape with a flat back, allowing them to sit flush against choir stalls or walls. With several available, Sylvie loves to use them as side tables flanking a sofa, positioned in an entryway, or placed beside a bed.

  • Notes from Sylvie:

    This antique piece wears its history beautifully—past woodworm holes, repairs, cracks, patina, and stains all add to its character.
