About the Item

A striking example of French mid-century brutalist design, this hand-carved tripod stool dates to the 1950s and embodies the raw, organic aesthetic of primitive folk art. Crafted in solid wood, the piece features a deeply carved, curved seat with a warm, rich patina and a visible rust-hued line across the surface—clearly shown in the final image. The sculptural legs are thick and slightly splayed, with pronounced hand-carved detailing that highlights its artisanal origin. The design is both minimal and expressive, reflecting the Brutalist movement's focus on texture, materiality, and honest construction. This rare stool functions beautifully as a side table, plant stand, or sculptural accent. Its timeless aesthetic complements a wide range of interiors—from antique and rustic spaces to modern and contemporary homes. Condition: Excellent vintage condition with signs of age and wear consistent with its provenance. The structure is stable and solid. Minor imperfections add to the authenticity and charm of this unique piece.
