  • Notes from Sylvie:

    This peice has been sanded so it is raw wood with some evidence of previous varnish on the legs, minor cracks in top, and since its seen some things, it has a slight wiggle.

While roaming the rural backroads of Avignon, we stumbled upon this hidden gem from the early 1900s. Its softly curved legs and refined oak finish immediately caught our attention, drawing us in with its quiet grace. There’s something magical about a piece like this—it doesn't shout for attention but instead steals the spotlight with its subtle charm. Hand-sanded to perfection, the smooth wood reflects the care that went into its creation. Whether it once stood in a farmhouse kitchen or graced a cozy corner, this stool tells the story of timeless craftsmanship.

Avignon, a city steeped in history and has long been a jewel of Provence. Known as the seat of the Papacy during the 14th century, Avignon became a center of power and culture, leaving behind a legacy of stunning architecture, art, and craftsmanship. The city’s rich history is palpable in every stone of its ancient streets, where the past and present blend seamlessly.

The surrounding countryside, with its rolling vineyards, lavender fields, and quaint villages, has been a source of inspiration for artists and artisans alike. It is here, amidst the serene beauty of Provence, that our latest collection was unearthed.

From intricately carved stools to delicately crafted ceramics, each piece in this collection reflects the artistry and tradition of Avignon and its surroundings. Whether it’s a piece discovered in a centuries-old farmhouse or a find from a grand Provençal brocante, these items carry with them the spirit of Avignon.
