SLOW DÉCOR FOR AN INTENTIONAL LIFESTYLE.
A beautifully aged late 19th to early 20th-century French Provincial milking stool, featuring a rare decorative skirting beneath the seat—an elegant touch not commonly found on purely utilitarian stools. Crafted from solid wood, this piece has developed a rich, timeworn patina, with visible grain patterns and a beautifully smoothed surface from generations of use.
With its sturdy, slightly splayed legs and distinctive underskirt design, this stool was likely crafted for a farmhouse kitchen or workspace, rather than just barn work. Its petite proportions and characterful wear make it a perfect piece for French country interiors, whether styled as a side table, plant stand, or decorative accent.

Handcrafted from local wood, its visible joinery, softened edges, and warm patina all reflect over a century of use, making it not just a piece of furniture, but a tangible piece of history.
