Antique Primitive Chair 1900s / Side Chair Wabi Sabi

About the Item

Very old style primitive chair. Its age is estimated to be furniture from the 1860s to 1900s. While the details are unknown, it is believed to have been made in France. The design is simple and lean. It has a strong and dynamic impression. It is very sturdy and does not wobble. Also, it is in excellent condition. This item evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. It represents a beauty that is the opposite of vulgarity, a beauty of modesty and uniqueness, and a beauty of the unconventional. This is a unique and very rare item.
