Vintage Wooden Folding Suitcase Stand w/ Blue Gray Paint & Floral Straps

A vintage folding suitcase stand from 'le pigeonnier' one of the charming guest rooms at Chanteduc, Patricia and Walter Wells’s Provençal home. Crafted in wood with gently curving X legs, it is painted a soft blue gray. The edges show honest wear that reveals the timber beneath, a patina earned with considerate use. Three floral cotton straps span the top, their pattern lightly faded and charming. Patricia recalls, “Our American friends, who used to come and visit, bought them for us as a gift! They’re very practical and pretty, and you can just leave them out.” Scaled comfortably for a carry on or weekender, the stand folds neatly yet feels sturdy in hand. It captures Patricia’s intelligent simplicity and love of useful beauty, a perfect way to welcome guests. Keep it ready in the chambre d’amis, the guest room, or let it live in an entry or dressing room where its blue gray and floral webbing add a gentle note of color. Leave it open with a neatly stacked quilt and a market basket of fresh linens, and it brings the easy grace of Chanteduc hospitality into everyday life.
