Pair of Vintage Trellis Woven Barrel Back Rattan Lounge Chairs

$1,995List Price

About the Item

An elegant mid‑late 20th‑century pair of barrel‑back lounge chairs, hand‑woven in trellis‑style rattan over a curved bamboo‑like frame. These versatile pieces bridge bohemian, coastal, and cozy contemporary aesthetics, offering both visual interest and superb comfort. A beautifully matched pair of vintage barrel-back lounge chairs, these trellis-woven rattan pieces embody both relaxed elegance and sculptural poise. Each chair measures approximately 25½ inches (65 cm) in width, 29 inches (74 cm) in depth, and 27¼ inches (69 cm) in overall height, with a seat height of about 15 inches (38 cm) when the plush cushion is in place (11½ inches / 29 cm without). The arm height at the front is about 22⅛ inches (56 cm), and inside of the seat width roughly 21½ inches (55 cm). Crafted of hand-woven rattan in a classic barrel-back silhouette, these chairs bridge multiple style vocabularies — coastal chic, bohemian warmth, and cozy mid-century comfort. The trellis weaving adds rhythm and transparency to the form, making the chairs light in visual weight even as their curves invite enveloping repose. Newly-made plush seat cushions enhance the comfort and contemporary usability, while preserving the vintage integrity of the frames. (Please note: the white throw pillows seen in images are not included.) The rattan frames remain in excellent condition: the weave is intact with no breaks, and all structural joints are sound. The finish shows light wear consistent with age — subtle sunning, minor surface rubs — all of which lend authenticity and lived-in charm. These are not factory-perfect reproductions, but vintage originals with character and durability. These chairs are ideally suited as statement seating in a relaxed living room, sun-drenched reading nook, coastal porch, or a home interior that values texture as much as comfort. Their generous width and curve make them perfect to flank a low table or fireplace; their tactile weave and warm tones harmonize with linen drapes, vintage carpets, woods, terracotta—or painted white boards in a breezy cottage setting. Design Style The gently reclined barrel backs and sweeping curves provide the ideal lounge posture. With refined trellis weaving, these chairs evoke breezy coastal escapes—from the Hamptons to California beach houses—while feeling equally at home in urban or resort‑inspired interiors. Dimensions Width: 25.5″ Depth: 29″ Overall Height: 27.25″ Seat Height (no cushion): 11.5″ Seat Height (with included plush cushion): 15″ Arm Height (front): approx. 22.1″ Condition Excellent vintage condition overall, with no breaks or unraveling in the rattan weaving. The original finish shows gentle wear appropriate to age but remains sturdy and clean. Includes newly added plush beige cushions (fabric can coordinate with interiors or be replaced). White throw pillows shown are decorative and not included. Construction Materials Crafted from natural rattan—renowned for its lightweight strength and timeless texture. High-quality vintage rattan like this is celebrated for its tight weave, warm patina, and durability, qualities only improved with age when well-maintained. Provenance Style Reference Thoughtfully sourced and curated by FMV, these chairs are styled to evoke the appeal of iconic Franco Albini bent-rattan silhouettes or classic lounge designs from the late 20th century. They offer a relaxed sophistication that complements both modern and vintage‑driven interiors. Ideal Settings Coastal or waterfront retreats Gallery‑like urban lofts or mid-century interiors Indoor-outdoor transitional spaces (sunrooms, covered patios) Boutique hotel lounges or hospitality settings aiming for laid‑back luxury Why You’ll Love Them A serene yet sculptural lounge staple, these chairs deliver effortless vintage charm with modern comfort. The trellis weaving captures light and shadow beautifully, while the open form keeps rooms feeling airy. Ideal for layering in color or pattern via cushions or throws—or enjoyed simply as-is for a refined, relaxed look.
