About the Item
Francisque Chaleyssin, set of six dining chairs, cerused oak, leatherette, France, late 1940s
Francisque Chaleyssin (1872–1951) was a prominent ébéniste and décorateur based in Lyon, active through the interwar and immediate postwar decades. His work bridged the transition from the ornamental vocabulary of Art Deco toward the more pared-down modernism that emerged in postwar France. Chaleyssin’s designs often embodied a synthesis of traditional artisanal techniques, art deco influences, and modern stylistic restraint, aligning him with other regional ateliers that sought to maintain French craftsmanship in an era increasingly defined by industrial production. These dining chairs exemplify Chaleyssin’s fusion of paradigms. The structure is defined by a broad, gently curved backrest that wraps partially around the sitter. The legs are especially charming – tall, slender, gently tapered, and faceted. They feature a distinctive, pronounced grain pattern, further accentuated by a cerused finish. This technique, which involves applying a contrasting pigment to highlight the wood's natural grain, adds remarkable depth and texture. These chairs formed part of an interior ensemble in Lyon, furnished by Chaleyssin.
