French Rush Chaise

France, 20th Century

$1,495

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.
