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. This one is finished in a brown varnish and is a little heavier than most. A great pot stand for a rustic location or as a stool. This one is in fair to good vintage condition with some signs of age and previous use as detailed below.
Makers mark / hallmarks: none
Sourced: in Normandy, France
Origin: French
Age: circa 1960-70’s
Materials: wood
Size roughly: 46h x 36 x 32 cm – 18h x 14 x 12.5 inches extreme measurements (seat 28 x 20 cm – 11 x 8 inches)
Condition: in vintage condition with signs of previous use, wear and scratches, varnish worn, some water staining to varnish from use as a plant stand in the past, 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 do have a little wiggle and the legs are starting to come up through the seat a little – especially the back one, perhaps just for lighter static use in it’s retirement years – such as a plant stand, it is still strong and stable and could be sat on but it’s a little unconfortable with the leg poking out a bit! Fine for heavy loads like plant pots. A fairto good example of these very popular stools, please see all pictures
Weight: 1.91 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!)
