Antique French Armchair

France, 19th Century

$495

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Sylvie Favorite

In a country house the chair with arms was the seat of honor, taller than the rest and pulled up closest to the fire. Found in Le Perche and dating to the 19th century, it climbs tall in a ladder-back of three rungs, with flat open arms and a seat woven in thick twisted rush. Everything about it was made by hand in a village, the frame pegged together and the seat woven from marsh rush, the whole thing worn smooth by generations of use. Sylvie stands it in a corner or at the head of a table, a sculptural chair as good to look at as to sit in.

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. This piece is quite delicate and has quite a wiggly. Sylvie would use it next to the bed for clothes, but not for everyday sitting.
