About the Item
Absolutely extraordinary, and charming midcentury French garden chair / scultped figure. Cast in cement and shaped with a seat, in the lovely form of a shell resting on a plinth of 3 sphinx. The garden chair originates from an upscale landscape garden that has been connected to a smaller southern French chateau and has fantastic weathered patina.
