Industrial Green Painted Stool with Steel Base and Wooden Top, 1930s

This charming French industrial stool dates from the 1930s and embodies the honest utility and understated elegance associated with early workshop and factory furniture. Constructed entirely from steel, the stool features a circular seat supported by three tapered splayed legs connected by a sturdy triangular stretcher, creating a stable and visually balanced silhouette. Its original pale mint-green painted finish has developed a beautiful aged patina over decades of use, with areas of wear, oxidation, and paint loss that contribute authentic character and reinforce its industrial heritage. The simple geometric construction and functional design anticipate many of the principles later embraced by Mid-Century modernism, giving the piece a timeless appeal. Perfect as a side stool, plant stand, occasional table, or decorative accent, this versatile piece brings texture and authenticity to industrial, wabi-sabi, modern, loft, and eclectic interiors. Diameter seat: 25 cm Diameter base: 39 cm
