About the Item

Folk Art Chairs with Heart Cut Out Pair of 19th-century hand-crafted folk-art chairs made of pine with traditional turned legs and heart-shaped cutout backs. They retain their original painted finishes in dark forest green and are accented with deep burgundy red trim and red-and-white floral motifs. Generations of use are evident in the distressed painted surfaces, with wear revealing natural pine beneath, particularly on the seats. One chair shows heavier wear than the other, indicating greater historical use. An old repair is visible along a crack running across the back of one seat. Scratches, cracks, and layered paint wear reflect long use and folk origins. Restored, strong, and stable, this charming pair is ready for use and represents classic European country craftsmanship with decorative appeal. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition, and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting all impact how item is viewed.
