Alps Chair - II

Austria, 20th Century

$395

Antique Kitchen Must Have Sylvie Favorite

In an Alpine kitchen a chair like this got pulled out and shoved back a thousand times a day, built solid enough to take a century of it. Found in Le Mans and dating to the early 20th century, it has a solid dished seat on four splayed legs, with a tall shaped back pierced by a single cut-out at the center. That opening in the back was cut to double as a handle, a place to grab and lift the chair, and it happens to be the one bit of decoration the maker allowed himself. Sylvie sets one at a small writing desk, its shaped back rising behind you as you sit. Two available, sold individually.

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. As each chair is unique, slight variation in color, finish, size, and overall appearance is to be expected.

All items are final sale.
