Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this mid-century French stool is rare for its original black paint, three bobbin-turned legs and a round seat, the black worn through in places to show the wood beneath. Bobbin-turned stools were a staple of the French country kitchen, set close to the stove or pulled up to a sink to peel and wait, but painted ones almost never come to us this way. Sylvie sets it beside a deep armchair with a book and a cup of coffee on top, the kind of small piece a room arranges itself around.
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. This pieces has some pictured paint chips.
