Lorraine Chair

France, 20th Century

$395

Antique Sylvie Favorite Collectors Must Have

In the farmhouses of eastern Lorraine, the everyday chairs were built like this one, square and solid, with an open back and a seat cut from a single plank. Found in Avignon and dating to the early 20th century, this chaise lorraine stands on turned front legs braced by a low stretcher, its tall back left open as a bare rectangle of wood. Sylvie sets it at a writing desk, a worn chair that makes the room feel lived in the moment you pull it up.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The wood finish is in excellent condition, and both pieces are very sturdy. There are slight variations in wood grain between the two, giving each its own individual character.

All items are final sale.
