Notes from Sylvie:

My dear these chairs are in really good shape, but they have been repaired in the past and have some minor wear on the rush seats.

Sylvie discovered these from an antique dealer who told us the tale of their previous noble life. These chairs were used by kitchen hands and cooks in a chateau kitchen. They were built with care, designed to endure the daily rituals—meals served fresh from the hearth, conversations filled with stories of the day, and bursts of laughter that echoed through the room. Over the years, each chair has gathered the subtle marks of those memories: the woven rush seats molded by countless guests and family members, and the ladder-back frames worn smooth from generations of hands pulling them closer to the table.

A tale so magical, we barely believe it. The story of this collection begins in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, where whispers led us to an extraordinary discovery—a resting place for the remnants of chateaus long forgotten. This ‘graveyard’ was unlike anything Sylvie had ever encountered.

Amidst the ruins, each piece seemed to carry the echoes of noble homes, some felled by earthquakes, others abandoned and left to time. It was a place of lost grandeur, where fragments of history lay waiting. Sylvie handpicked her favorites from these forgotten treasures, breathing new life into each one, and sometimes, a new purpose. This collection is a revival of French history, offering pieces once thought lost to time.
