About the Item
With gently bowed legs and high backs etched in quiet curvature, this set of four chairs evokes the poise of pastoral architecture—each one a humble monument to vernacular grace. The woven rush, sun-kissed and hand-pulled, arcs across the seat and backrest like fields bound in golden harvest. A tactile contrast to the pale, untreated oak, the material interplay lends warmth and rhythmic texture to the ensemble.
Attributed to a provincial workshop in the spirit of French Country Modernism
These chairs echo the codes of postwar French provincial craftsmanship, where rural artisans distilled modernity into function. They stand as unpretentious heirs to the lineage of Charlotte Perriand and the Jeanneret circle—not in authorship, but in ethic. Their utility is sculptural; their simplicity, refined.
Fashioned from solid oak, each frame bears the trace of hand-tools, rounded dowel stretchers, and mortise joints. The rush seating and backrest are tightly woven in a diagonal chevron pattern—a technique both decorative and enduring. No ornamentation distracts from the architectural honesty of line and mass.
Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by Jada to maintain structural integrity while honoring the original patina of the timber and vegetal fiber.
In a dining room or entryway, these chairs anchor the eye with their sculptural humility. Grouped in four, they create a rhythmic cadence of arching backs and tapered legs—a soft geometry grounded in rural austerity.
Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
