About the Item

This rustic armchair from Belgium beautifully marries organic materials with timeless craftsmanship. Featuring a sturdy hand-hewn wooden frame with a naturally weathered patina, the chair is accented by a tightly woven seagrass seat and backrest. The distinctive spindle construction and slightly angled arms lend it an artisanal, farmhouse appeal, while the seagrass waving introduces a natural warmth and durability, bringing an understated European character to any interior. A charming late 19th-century Belgian stick-back farm chair, hand-crafted in solid hardwood with simple pegged joinery and a timeworn patina. The minimal, upright form and tapered legs reflect the pragmatic rural vernacular of Flanders, where such chairs were made for kitchens and workrooms rather than formal interiors. Recently restrung with hand-woven seagrass roping, the seat has been restored with integrity to its original character while retaining the warmth and irregularity of age. The wood shows a naturally oxidized surface with soft wear consistent with over a century of use — a quietly sculptural object that balances rustic utility and timeless restraint. ⸻ Details     •    Origin: Belgium     •    Period: Late 19th century     •    Materials: Hardwood, hand-woven seagrass     •    Construction: Pegged joinery, stick-back form     •    Condition: Good structural condition with age-appropriate surface wear; new professionally woven seagrass seat
