French Tripod Stool

France, 20th Century

$245

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Exactly As Pictured

Found in Normandy, this French bobbin stool dates to the 20th century, a round seat on three splayed legs, the wood darkened to a deep chestnut. The bobbin turning is the oldest trick a lathe can do, the wood cut into repeating rounds as it spins, a technique that has run through French furniture for centuries and never gone out of use. Sylvie pulls it up beside a chair for a coffee and a book, or stands a small pot of flowers on it in a corner where nothing else quite fits.

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.
