From Béziers and dating to the 1940s, this French milking stool was made for long hours in low barns, its three-legged form keeping it steady on uneven ground while work was done by hand. The seat is carved into a soft, scooped shape, worn smooth where it was sat on daily, while the legs angle outward for balance and ease of movement. Pieces like this were essential to small farm life across the south of France, simple by necessity and built to last through constant use. Sylvie loves it pulled up as an extra seat or set beside a table, still doing exactly what it was made to do.
