French Bobbin Stool

France, 20th Century

$245

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Exactly As Pictured

Found in Avignon, this vintage stool was hand-turned in mid-20th-century France for a country kitchen where it moved from task to task throughout the day. A stool like this was carried out to the cowshed at dawn for milking, drawn close to the kitchen table at noon, and set next to the hearth at night for the long hours after dinner. Sylvie places it next to a bed where it holds a glass of water, a candle, and the book someone is halfway through.

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 piece has a glossy finish, and the top shows a dark stain drip beneath the finish, as pictured.

All items are final sale.
