French Rush Counter Stool

France, 20th Century

$395

Vintage Kitchen Must Have Sylvie Favorite

You can almost picture the café counter a stool like this once lined, its rush seat worn soft by a hundred elbows and slow mornings. Found in Le Mans and dating to the 20th century, it stands tall on four turned legs, laddered with rungs, under a square seat woven from rush. The rush was woven across the frame by hand, and the rungs climbing the legs were footrests as much as braces, a place to hook your feet through a long sit. Sylvie pulls it up to the kitchen counter, tall and light, the seat softened by all the years before this one.

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 rush top shows slight discoloration, and the wood has some paint marks from years of use. Each piece varies slightly in color, details, and overall appearance.

All items are final sale.
