A small French oak milking stool dating from 1950–1960, in vintage Brutalist style, with a solid rectangular seat and four rounded splayed legs, measuring 30 cm high, 27 cm wide and 18 cm deep, in good condition with signs of age.
Description from the seller
A charming small French milking stool in solid oak, dating from the 1950s to 1960s.
This is one of those simple rural pieces that instantly brings warmth into a room. Made with a thick rectangular seat and four rounded splayed legs, it has a wonderfully honest construction: sturdy, stable and made to be used. The proportions are modest, but the character is strong.
The oak has developed a beautiful warm patina over time, with visible grain, small marks, some separation in the wood. These traces are part of its appeal, giving the stool a relaxed wabi-sabi feeling: nothing too polished, but an object with age, surface and soul.
It works beautifully as a small accent piece: for instance in a bathroom, hallway or bedroom, as a plant stand, or purely decorative piece. A little countryside object to bring atmosphere in a room.
Condition
Good vintage condition with signs of age and use. The stool is very sturdy and stable.
