About the Item

A beautifully understated pair of antique Northern French rush-seat chairs, circa 1900. The frames are finished in a deep, ebonized tone, now softened by decades of use into an exceptionally attractive patina—gentle wear along the edges revealing warm brown undertones beneath the dark finish. The hand-woven rush seats add a natural, tactile counterpoint and give the pair that quiet, lived-in elegance designers love. The silhouette is classic Northern French country: slender proportions, subtly arched back uprights, a wide curved top rail and a secondary back rail, with a sturdy stance and honest vernacular character. These chairs read as both functional seating and sculptural styling pieces—the kind that instantly add depth and authenticity to a room without overpowering it. Where they fit beautifully Wabi-sabi / Japandi interiors: dark, calm lines + organic rush texture = effortless balance. French farmhouse / European country: perfect at a rustic dining table, breakfast nook, or kitchen corner. Modern minimalist spaces: as accent chairs that add warmth, texture, and history. Entry hall / bedroom: styled as a pair beneath art or a mirror, or at the foot of a bed. A rare decorative pair with the right blend of simplicity, patina, and material contrast—ideal for interior designers seeking texture-driven, collected spaces.
