About the Item

Crafted in France circa 1880, this charming walnut high chair reflects the understated elegance of the Louis Philippe style. The frame showcases graceful bentwood-style shaping, with a rounded crest rail and gently flared arms that support a swing-over wooden tray, ideal for serving or play. The seat is hand-caned in a traditional hexagonal pattern, offering both comfort and ventilation, while the footrest and double side stretchers add stability. Typical of the Louis Philippe aesthetic, the design favors soft curves, clean lines, and warm finishes over heavy ornamentation. The walnut retains a rich, honeyed patina developed over generations, highlighting its fine grain and smooth luster. Measuring 34.25 inches high with a seat height of 21.5 inches, and 13.5 inches wide by 18 inches deep, this piece is perfectly sized for a child yet equally appealing as a whimsical decorative accent in a kitchen, nursery, or dining space. In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this antique chair captures the timeless appeal of 19th-century French craftsmanship.
