The French Folding Cane Stool Pair

A pair of vintage folding stools, likely French and dating from around the 1950s to 1970s, with black-finished wooden frames and seats of woven natural cane. Three cane-wrapped struts brace each seat from beneath, and the crossed legs fold on riveted joints with metal fittings. Both woven seats are complete, and the black finish is softly worn along edges and struts, with rust-toned screw heads that add to their timeworn character.

Hand-woven cane seats on slim folding frames are typical of French and southern European household furniture of the mid-20th century, made to be carried, opened where needed and folded flat again.

Side by side they give any room character and style. Perfect beside the bed, as low stands for a lamp or a trailing plant, the black frames sitting quietly against pale plaster and wooden floors.
