Notes from Sylvie:

Each Lorraine Chair is hand selected by Sylvie and may differ from exact back shape and patina displayed in images. Rest assured, we only select our favorites.

Hailing from the heart of France’s Lorraine region, this chair is a testament to the artistry of early 1900s craftsmanship. Each hand-carved detail tells a story, and the walnut wood, with its fine grain and sturdy feel, reflects the skilled hands that shaped it. The signature backrest design, characteristic of Lorraine artisans, makes every chair a one-of-a-kind creation. Passed down through generations, this chair has seen more than a century of life, with its patina bearing the marks of time and use.

In the heart of a sun-soaked French village, the early morning air hums with anticipation. The brocante is just beginning to stir, its stalls lined with an eclectic mix of treasures gathered from generations past. Sylvie finds herself weaving through narrow rows, where the earthy aroma of aged wood and the faint hint of lavender linger in the air.

As she strolls, she exchanges nods and smiles with the seasoned vendors who watch over their wares like guardians of history. Every table holds something captivating—hand-painted ceramics, tarnished silverware, stacks of well-loved books, and intricately carved furniture that speaks of another era. The charm lies in the imperfections: a slight crack in a glazed vase, the patina on a brass mirror, the weathered edges of a faded tapestry.

With each discovery, Sylvie curates a collection that embodies the soul of the art of antiquing. By afternoon, her arms are filled with treasures, each piece a window into another life, another time. A thought sparks as she gazes at her finds: What if I brought this feeling home? And so, the Sylvie Brocante was born—a collection designed to transport you to that sunlit village, where every item carries a piece of France’s soulful past, inviting you to experience it in your own space.
