French Bobbin Stool

France, 20th Century

$255

Vintage Sylvie Favorite Oh So French!

Every farmhouse kitchen had a low stool like this underfoot, pulled up to the hearth or the milking and light enough to move with one hand. Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this vintage French stool has a round seat ringed with concentric circles and three turned legs that splay slightly outward. Country stools were made with three legs on purpose, since three feet sit steady on a stone or dirt floor where a fourth would only wobble. Sylvie sets it beside a deep chair as a low side table, a stack of books and a cup of coffee balanced on top.

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.
