Mini French Tripod Stool

France, 20th Century

$145

A little stool like this went wherever it was needed, light enough to carry in one hand and set down by the fire, under your feet, or under you to reach a high shelf. Found in Lille and dating to the 20th century, it is dark wood, a round seat turned with a ring of circles at its center, standing on three turned legs that splay out to the floor. Three legs was the old country answer to an uneven floor, a stool that never rocks because three feet always find the ground at once. Sylvie stands it beside the bath with a candle and a folded towel on it, low enough to reach from the water.

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

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.
