French Bobbin Stool

France, 20th Century

$255

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Exactly As Pictured

A stool like this lived wherever it was last needed, by the fire, at the milking, under a foot reaching for the high shelf. Its round seat, dished and ringed at the center, sits on three bobbin legs that splay just enough to keep it steady. Three legs never rocked on an uneven floor the way a fourth would, which is why the country stool almost always had exactly this many. Sylvie sets it by the hearth with a coffee cooling on the seat, or uses it low to hold a stack of books and a candle.

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