Alps Chair

France, 20th Century

$395

Antique

Rare

One-Of-A-Kind

Meet the Alps chair! Straight from the early 1900s and carved in the French Alps, this piece carries all the quirks and personality you’d expect from mountain craftsmanship. Its sculpted seat and stout legs are slightly off-kilter, but that only adds to its charisma, giving the sense that it has sat through more than a few rowdy gatherings in alpine farmhouses. Chairs like this were built for daily use in rugged settings, which makes their survival over a century later even more impressive. Sylvie likes to imagine it as the life of the dinner table, unpolished, charismatic, and always ready with a story.
