Ladder Back Armchair

France, 20th Century

$395

1

This ladder back armchair is pure farmhouse magic. With its beautifully curved back slats and hand-woven rush seat, it’s the kind of piece that’s carried French homes through centuries of lively meals and family gatherings. Originating in the 19th century, ladder back chairs were beloved for their sturdy build and simple elegance, often crafted by regional artisans for everyday use. We have four available, sold separately, and Sylvie loves scattering them around a big table or pairing one with a writing desk.
