Sylvie Favorite

Oh, these little stools! A round top on bold bobbin legs, they come from 20th-century French farmhouses where they were used as low milking stools or work perches near the hearth. Their compact design made them easy to move from room to room, while the turned legs added a bit of flair to everyday function. We have two, each with slightly different wear on the seat. Sylvie keeps one beside the tub for a book and bath salts, and the other by her reading chair with a steaming mug and whatever novel she’s deep in.

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