A Pair of Oak and Woven Rush High Back Armchairs, France 1940s
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.
