French Primitive Stool

France, 20th Century

$195

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Exactly As Pictured

Nobody was trying to make this stool beautiful, and that is exactly why it is, hewn by hand on a farm from whatever wood was at hand. Found in Le Mans and dating to the early 20th century, this is the oldest way there is to make a stool, no nails and no joinery to speak of, just legs wedged tight into a slab, and that raw, hand-hewn look is exactly what makes primitive pieces so wanted now. Sylvie sets it beside a deep chair with a book and a cup left 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 is soft, and the surface shows paint marks, water marks, and natural variation in color.

All items are final sale.
