French ebonized tripod stool with hand-turned barley twist legs, supporting a sculptural, shaped solid wood seat. The darkened finish beautifully contrasts with the warm undertones of the wood, highlighting its rich, timeworn patina. Both functional and decorative, it carries a strong primitive presence with refined craftsmanship. France, circa 1900.
Wear consistent with age and use, including surface wear, tonal variation to the ebonized finish, and minor separation with stable cracking to the seat. Evidence of old repairs. Presents well and remains structurally sound and sturdy.
Dimensions:
27.75” H
Base: 14.5-15” leg span
Top: 11.5” W × 8” D
