Antique Cantor Stool

France, 19th Century

$495

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 arch shape with a flat back, allowing them to sit flush against choir stalls or walls. Sylvie loves to use them as side tables flanking a sofa, positioned in an entryway, or placed beside a bed.

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 subtle repairs, movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The piece is very sturdy, with some wear through the finish along the rounded top and legs.
