About the Item

19th Century Pair of Corner Chairs with Rush Seats This charming pair of 19th-century corner chairs exemplifies vernacular craftsmanship and practical design. Constructed in hardwood and raised on turned legs joined by stretchers, each chair features finely bobbin-turned elements throughout, lending a rhythmic sculptural quality typical of rural European seating of the period. The distinctive corner form allowed these chairs to fit neatly into room corners while still providing comfortable, upright seating. The seats retain the woven rush, arranged in a traditional cross pattern, offering both durability and visual texture. The warm patina of the wood, softened through generations of use, enhances their authenticity and decorative appeal. These chairs reflect the utilitarian yet expressive furniture traditions found across France and Northern Europe in the 19th century. Today, they serve equally well as accent seating, bedside chairs, or decorative objects in layered interiors. Measurements (each): Depth: 17" Width: 17" Height: 25.5" Seat Height: 17"
