Oak Monastery Chair

France, 19th Century

$995

Oh, this one has gravitas. Found in Villeneuve, this oak monastery chair carries the engraved initials of a former occupant - one of many who sat, prayed, and chanted here over the years. With its flat runners, upright stance, and spindle back, it’s a study in monastic simplicity. Sylvie likes it in the entryway, a perfect perch for when you've finally come home and can remove your shoes.

  • Notes from Sylvie:

    This antique piece wears its history beautifully—past woodworm holes, repairs, cracks, patina, and stains all add to its character.
