Its thick, rounded seat rests on three solid, slightly splayed legs, giving the piece both stability and a sculptural, grounded presence.

The surface shows a beautifully built‑up patina from more than a century of use; softened edges, natural wear, and a deep, warm tone that speaks to its long life in a working farmhouse interior. Despite its age, the stool is stable, with no visible structural damage, making it suitable as a functional small seat, a plant stand, or a decorative accent in wabi‑sabi, rustic, or minimalist interiors.

A timeless French countryside object with strong character and material honesty.

Good antique condition. Stable, no structural damage visible. Rich patina consistent with age and use. See less
