About the Item
In the style of Charles Dudouyt (1885-1846), a famed French woodworker whose designs are noted for their use of natural materials (in this case, beech and straw) and minimalist carvings, this pair of low fireplace chairs were hand-carved circa 1940 in France. Most of the rails and stretcher connectors of the chairs are thick and circular; the main exception is the front connector, which is turned. Both the legs and back rails are topped with large, ball finials, giving the chairs a unique appearance. Perhaps the most opulent aspect of each chair is the rush seat, woven in a diagonal cross pattern. With their distinct look and low seat H of 11 ½ inches, these beech and rush chairs are perfect seating for a fireside area.
