About the Item

A quiet monument to French rustic modernism, this armchair draws the eye with its deliberate naïveté—rounded finials perched atop robust uprights, sweeping armrests that arc with softened geometry, and legs scored with concentric bands that recall lathe-worked column capitals. The silhouette is at once playful and commanding, its primitive purity elevated by studied proportion. Attributed to Charles Dudouyt, the piece embodies his singular vocabulary: one that fuses medieval romanticism with vernacular solidity, filtered through the lens of interwar design reform. Far from the austerity of his contemporaries, Dudouyt favored tactile fullness—carved wood, bulbous forms, and craft traditions reimagined with sculptural rigor. Executed in solid oak with a natural matte finish, the frame retains its visible tool marks and subtle irregularities—hallmarks of hand-finishing. The seat is woven in hand-rushed cord, offering a tonal counterpoint to the pale, time-softened wood. Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain its structural integrity while honoring its original patina. Compact in scale yet full of visual gravity, it reads as both object and artifact—equally suited to rustic interiors or more minimalist architectural volumes. Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
