Rare complete set of eight original French 1940s dining chairs in solid oak with hand-woven rush seats, embodying timeless French farmhouse and wabi-sabi elegance.
This exceptional set of eight French dining chairs dates from the 1940s and exemplifies the enduring appeal of traditional French craftsmanship and natural materials. Crafted in solid oak, each chair features beautifully turned legs, robust stretchers, and a warm, naturally aged patina developed over decades of use.
The seats and backrests are finished with original hand-woven rush, creating a refined yet rustic texture that pairs perfectly with the strength and warmth of the oak frames. The subtle cut-out detail in the backrest adds a distinctive decorative accent while maintaining a clean and architectural silhouette.
These chairs are ideal for a wide range of interiors, including French farmhouse, European country, wabi-sabi, and modern rustic dining spaces. Their honest materials and balanced proportions make them equally suitable for classic interiors and contemporary settings seeking authenticity and character.
All eight chairs are matching and in very good vintage condition. The rush weaving remains firm and intact, and the oak frames are structurally sound, with light wear consistent with age and use.
A highly desirable and increasingly difficult-to-find complete set of original French rush dining chairs from the 1940s.
