About the Item
Pair of French Solid Beech Ladder-Back Armchairs with Rush Seats, France, 1950s
This elegant pair of ladder-back armchairs originates from France and dates to the 1950s—a decade celebrated for its refined craftsmanship and commitment to enduring materials. These chairs reflect the rustic sophistication of mid-century French provincial design, offering timeless character and utility.
Constructed from solid beech wood, the frames have developed a rich, honey-toned patina over time, emphasizing the natural grain and depth of the wood. The gently arched ladder-backs provide both sculptural rhythm and relaxed support, while the solid wood armrests are smoothly integrated into the frame. The handwoven rush seats bring warmth and texture, reinforcing the chairs' artisanal appeal.
With their balanced proportions and understated presence, these chairs make exceptional accent or occasional seating. They lend a sense of authenticity and organic beauty to interiors ranging from country homes to minimalist apartments or modern rustic settings.
Dimensions:
Width: 62 cm (24.4 in)
Depth: 50 cm (19.7 in)
Height: 88 cm (34.6 in)
Seat Height: 46 cm (18.1 in)
Both chairs are in excellent vintage condition, showing only minor wear consistent with age and use—subtle marks that enhance their patina and character.
These French 1950s armchairs are a beautiful example of honest craftsmanship and timeless design, ideal for living spaces, reading corners, or entryways where thoughtful detail and material warmth are appreciated.

Pair of Italian Paolo Buffa ladder back armchairs pleasingly proportioned on cylindrical legs and softly curved ladder backs.
