Notes from Sylvie:

Each lovely stool is slightly different, some have slight wear to legs, others have a wiggle to them, they are all still very functional. Don't worry dear one, we only select our favorites.

Discovered in the heart of the French countryside, these 1960s Provincial French stools once served as a practical staple in rural French farmhouses. Made from solid oak with a hand-woven rush seat, their sturdy legs and worn patina reflect decades of everyday use. Whether placed artfully by your bedside or your cozy fireplace, these stools tell the story of simpler times, where furniture was built to last and each piece was essential to daily life.

Marseille, the vibrant port city of the Mediterranean, is a place where history, culture, and tradition collide. Founded over 2,600 years ago, Marseille is one of France’s oldest cities, with a rich tapestry woven from its diverse influences—Greek, Roman, and beyond. The city’s bustling markets, colorful neighborhoods, and sun-soaked coastline have long been a melting pot of ideas, artistry, and craftsmanship.

The surrounding Provençal landscapes, with their olive groves, terracotta rooftops, and rugged coastline, offer a glimpse into the soul of Southern France. It’s here, in and around Marseille, that we uncovered our latest collection of antiques—pieces that speak to the city’s maritime spirit and eclectic soul.

Sylvie rummaged through dusty, forgotten warehouses, met with third generation antique dealers and found herself wandering through vibrant seaside markets to curate this collection.
