French Oak Armchairs with Woven Rush Seat, France 1950s

About the Item

This rustic pair of armchairs was made in the 1950s in France, inspired by Charlotte Perriand's wood and straw creations. The pairing of the oak structure and the woven rush seat is an organic and stylish mix of materials that gives these chairs their charming vintage look. Impressive in its simplicity, this pair carries with it the same beloved modernist characteristics applied to American, Scandinavian, and Italian mid-century design – simple, functional – and shows the rustic side of French design of the era. The pair’s aesthetic is defined by the high ladder backrests with three horizontal slats. The slats have a gentle “hill” shape with a rounded top. This structure creates an airy and rhythmic look that is further complemented by the legs’ stretchers. The overall design of these chairs is reminiscent of the Shaker style, specifically the so-called shawl rail chair. Based upon ascetic principles, Shaker furniture is recognized by clean, smooth lines, simplicity of design, high quality and excellent joinery. The true mid-century design element is the use of rush on the seats with expert weaving that pairs beautifully with the oak bodies, and gives this pair a rustic and organic look. Each of these chairs was created by exceptionally skilled French craftsmen who made sure these chairs are durable, sturdy and functional. Their expert craftsmanship and use of high-quality wood and rush make each of these chairs a beautiful design heirloom. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some minor scratches and marks on the wood. A noticeable knot underneath one of the armrests. Some discolouration on the cane.
