About the Item
The 1940s were an iconic time in the world of design, representing the meeting point of two of the best known movements- Art Deco and mid-century modern. From tables, to sofas and armchairs like this beautiful French pair, 1940s pieces combine the timeless Art Deco silhouettes and the mid- century modern pursuit of uncomplicated functionality to arrive at truly unique furniture elements.
Rooted in the ethos of the period, this pair of chairs reflect the timeless elegance of French design. The solid oak frames showcase clean lines and a straightforward look, perfectly capturing the balance between functional simplicity and honest charm that defined their time. The chairs are thoughtfully crafted with high backrests featuring three slats, ensuring support while maintaining an open feel. The rush seat, masterfully woven, adds a touch of organic texture, providing both comfort and visual warmth. Tapered armrests frame both sides of the seat, inviting relaxation through their practical use. To round off the well thought-out design, the four legs supporting each chair feature stretchers which enhance durability and stability, ensuring these chairs are as practical as they are beautiful.
These armchairs transcend their era, through the appeal of their design. Not only do they pair seamlessly with a variety of interiors, but they serve as the graceful representation of achieving function while not expecting quality craftsmanship or aesthetics.

Wood Turned Chairs with Woven Rush Seats, Europe Ca 1940s
Located in Utrecht, NL
Mid-century designers were eager to break free from the aesthetics of the past and experiment with new forms, and techniques. At the same time, especially in Europe, the modernist design movement was often based on traditional styles and techniques, such as turned chairs.
Turned chairs — sometimes called thrown chairs or spindle chairs — represent a style of Elizabethan or Jacobean turned furniture that had a vogue in the late 16th and early 17th century. The technique was carried on to the 20th century and was widespread in Europe as well, where craftsmen created durable pieces for various interiors and purposes. In turned furniture, the individual wooden spindles of the piece were made by shaping them with chisels and gouges while they were being spun, or turned between the centre points of a lathe. The construction of this pair is evocative of the more robust Arts and Crafts Movement, featuring subtle decorative elements such as the finials atop the backs. The sphere-shaped finials aren’t the only ornamentations on the design; the shape of the two splats on the back, the carved stretchers and carving on the feet are all decorative features that make this pair visually arresting. In later turned chairs, like this pair, rush seats were common. Here, the seats are woven around the frames with a light colour that beautifully contrasts to the dark, patinated wood. The partnership of the two natural materials is very effective as well; the wood and rush pair...
