Title

Whimsical, storybook charm meets authentic mid-century garden craft in this French cast-concrete mushroom seat or stool, circa 1950s. Hand-cast in concrete and sculpted with naturalistic detail, the stool takes the playful form of an oversized woodland mushroom, rising from a rounded green base embellished with smaller fungi clustered at the stem. The wide, gently concave top has softened beautifully with decades of outdoor weathering, developing a mottled patina of charcoal, moss, stone, and earthy taupe tones — exactly the kind of natural aging collectors adore.

 

The surface retains hints of its original painted finish, now mellowed by sun, rain, and time. Its sculptural silhouette and organic textures give it wonderful presence in the garden, offering both decorative charm and occasional seating. Whether tucked into a shady corner, placed beside a koi pond, or used to anchor a whimsical outdoor vignette, it blends seamlessly into natural surroundings while adding a touch of fairytale fantasy.

 

Mid-century French garden ornament often embraced imaginative, nature-inspired forms, and mushroom stools like this became beloved fixtures in parks, play areas, and cottage gardens. Today, they bring a nostalgic, rustic enchantment to outdoor spaces and can even be used indoors as a quirky side table or sculptural accent.

 

*Additional mushroom seats are available and listed separately. Each is sold individually. Mix and match for a magical little colony, or feature a single stool on its own as a charming standalone piece.

Dimensions:

Diameter - 21"

h -20.5"
