French Rush Chaise

France, 20th Century

$995

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Rare

The chair that was made for afternoon naps. This French rush chaise has a wide handwoven seat, ladder-back slats, simple arms, and a low stretched base that gives it a relaxed, almost daybed-like scale. One arm has a slight wobble but remains solid and usable. Pieces like this were kept by the hearth for resting, reading, or sitting for long stretches rather than formal seating. Sylvie places it in a living room corner or sunlit nook, where the warm wood and woven rush add texture give of that certain je ne sais quoi.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collection, as with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it. One of the arms is a little wiggly, but its still perfectly functional.
