About the Item

This 19th-century Swiss Tyrolean side chair captures the singular spirit of Alpine design—where utility, folklore, and a touch of whimsy collide. Crafted from pine, the chair features a solid back with a stylized floral silhouette, a simple flat seat, and four pegged legs that splay with a gentle, rustic ease. Once brightly painted in shades of green, red, and gray, the surface was stripped many years ago; today, it glows with the natural honeyed patina of aged pine, softened by time and use. Tyrolean furniture has long been celebrated for its quirky, idiosyncratic forms—regional pieces often decorated with exuberant cutouts, playful silhouettes, and folk motifs that set them apart from more formal European traditions. This chair carries that legacy in its pared-back form, at once humble and characterful, a relic of a mountainous culture that prized both craftsmanship and a delightfully eccentric sense of style.
