About the Item
A composition of sculptural quietude, this set of six French Art Deco dining chairs reveals a language of measured elegance and artisanal precision. Conceived in the 1940s within a modest workshop in Albi—a town steeped in the luminous heritage of southern France—these chairs embody the conviction and refinement of the French decorative arts at their apogee.
Each form is hewn from solid oak, its mass anchored in a vernacular gravitas softened by the lyricism of the details. The backrests, punctuated by inlaid bands of brass and contrasting wood, articulate a restrained ornament—neither ostentatious nor austere, but a tempered celebration of craft. The dialogue between linear rigor and the softened curvature of the terminals evokes a modernist impulse tempered by regional tradition, where the clarity of construction becomes the ornament itself.
Generous in scale and formidable in bearing, the chairs were conceived to withstand decades of conviviality—silent witnesses to over eighty years of life in a singular corner of France. The seat structure, enveloped in a padded vinyl upholstery, remains in notably good condition, its resilience a testament to the integrity of the original workmanship. For those who wish to restore the full measure of comfort, professional re-padding can be undertaken upon request.
Wear consistent with age and use. Meticulously preserved by JADA to uphold their structural dignity while honoring the noble patina imparted by time.
The ensemble reads as a quiet architecture—six repetitions of form arrayed like sentinels along a dining table, their presence dignified and assured. They speak to a period when French design located its power not in excess, but in proportion, craftsmanship, and the hushed luxury of enduring materials.
Available for private acquisition. Inquiries from discerning collectors are welcome.
