An authentic, French, `shabby chic` style, `Lavoir` kneeling trough and paddle
An authentic, `shabby chic` style, French `Lavoir` kneeling trough and paddle. This item is hand painted in clotted cream chalk paint with green and blue undertones and waxed and polished to a high standard. A `Lavoir` is an outside canopied area over water which is set aside for washing clothes in France, and used until recently by some. Every town square has one, though nowadays they are mostly covered in beautiful wild flowers. You kneel in the trough and beat your washing with the paddle. Great for display purposes and a real talking point. Buyer collects or arrange own courier. Possible free delivery within a 20 mile radius. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
