An always popular vintage French traditional wooden milking stool with bobbin style braced legs. We call these DT stools; D for the seat and T for the brace. A great pot stand for a rustic location. This one is in fair condition with some signs of age as detailed below. Better for lighter use in it’s retirement years as discussed below.
Makers mark / hallmarks: none
Sourced: in Normandy, France
Origin: French
Age: circa 1950-60’s
Materials: wood
Size roughly: 45.5h x 36 x 30 cm – 18h x 14 x 12 inches extreme measurements (seat 28 x 20 cm – 11 x 8 inches)
Condition: in vintage condition with signs of previous use, wear and scratches, these stools are initially made without the use of glue or nails and rely on good joints only, usually over the years the joints wear a little, the joints on this one are a little loose – a little glue would stiffen it up further but it is fine as is, this one has had woodworm in the past especially to the front of the seat weakening the wood – we have treated it just in case – we would suggest for use as a plant stand rather than a stool with heavy wear to it’s front edge in it’s retirement years, still strong and stable other than the weakened front edge, a fair example of these very popular stools, please see all pictures
Weight: 1.8 kg (over 2kg when safely wrapped so expensive to ship but cost of shipping is the same from 2kg to 5kg. Buy something else at the same time and we can likely ship it in the package for no extra charge!)
