About the Item

This charming pair of antique low chairs was crafted in France circa 1920 and reflects the honest simplicity of traditional French Provincial seating. Built from solid oak, each chair features finely turned legs and uprights joined by shaped stretchers, providing both structural integrity and visual rhythm. The ladder back design is accented with gently scalloped rails and rounded finials, lending a soft, vernacular elegance typical of rural French furniture of the late 19th century. The seats retain their original handwoven rush, executed in a classic basket-weave pattern with warm natural and softly aged tones that complement the rich walnut patina. Low in profile yet comfortably proportioned, these antique chairs were likely intended for hearthside or occasional use and today make ideal fireside chairs, bedroom seating, or decorative accent pieces in a country house or European inspired interior. The seating is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a warm, timeworn finish throughout. Dimensions: 19"W x 15"D x 35"H Seat height: 17.5"H
