About the Item

A beautifully sculptural French stool crafted in solid walnut, featuring expressive turned legs and a circular top carved with concentric rings. Executed in the distinctive manner of Charles Dudouyt, this piece exemplifies the bold yet restrained character of French Modern design from the 1940s. This sculptural stool is executed in solid walnut wood and displays all the hallmarks associated with the work produced in the manner of Charles Dudouyt during the 1940s. The design is defined by its thick circular seat, enriched with finely carved concentric rings, resting on three robust, bulbous turned legs—a signature vocabulary strongly associated with French Modern and early Brutalist furniture of the period. The walnut surface shows a rich, warm patina, highlighting the natural grain and depth of the wood. The proportions are deliberately low and grounded, giving the piece a strong architectural presence despite its compact size. Such stools were often used as auxiliary seating, side tables, or sculptural accents, making this example highly versatile in both classic and contemporary interiors. While Charles Dudouyt is most commonly associated with oak, walnut examples and closely related atelier-produced works are documented, particularly in smaller-scale seating from the late 1930s and 1940s. This stool is therefore offered with a careful and correct attribution as in the manner of Charles Dudouyt.
