Found in Avignon, this stool turns its three legs into the whole show, each one cut in its own pattern of rings and ridges, no two quite alike. A round seat sits above them, dished and carved with a spiral at its center, the whole thing low to the ground on splayed feet. Stools like this were the plainest thing in a country house, which is exactly what makes one this worked over such a find, a farmhouse seat a woodworker clearly made for the pleasure of it. Sylvie would set it by a fireplace or under a window, small enough to move with a foot and far too good-looking to tuck away.
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.
All items are final sale.
