Tall Workers Stool

France, 20th Century

$495

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Rare

Made as a tall stool for a carpenter's bench, this one wears its whole working life on its seat, marked and worn where tools were set down and a craftsman sat through long days. Its three legs splay wide for a steady perch and meet low at a triangular stretcher pegged and wedged by hand. Early 20th century and built to take a beating, a stool like this outlasted the work it was made for, which is why it stands so easily now as a pedestal. Sylvie would top it with a bust, a stack of books, or a vase of something tall, and let the wear do the talking.

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.
