Pair of Circa 1940 French Low Fireplace Chairs in Carved Beech and Rush
About the Item
In the style of Charles Dudouyt (1885-1846), a famed French woodworker whose designs are noted for their use of natural materials (in this case, beech and straw) and minimalist carvings, this pair of low fireplace chairs were hand-carved circa 1940 in France. Most of the rails and stretcher connectors of the chairs are thick and circular; the main exception is the front connector, which is turned. Both the legs and back rails are topped with large, ball finials, giving the chairs a unique appearance. Perhaps the most opulent aspect of each chair is the rush seat, woven in a diagonal cross pattern. With their distinct look and low seat H of 11 ½ inches, these beech and rush chairs are perfect seating for a fireside area.

18th Century French Fireplace Mantel in Carved Limestone
Located in Dallas, TX
This beautiful antique French fireplace mantel was carved in stone during the late 18th century. It’s quite an unusual example in that falls into the transitional style of Louis XV and XVI. This was a short period of time in the 1700s when the opulent rocaille forms were transitioning into the Neoclassical of Louis XVI. The fireplace has an impressive, deep stance, with a slightly bowed or “galbee” lintel. The bottom of the lintel is composed of a series of rounded and incurved moldings, shaped in the classic crossbow or serpentine form that was so popular in the early to mid-1700s. What makes this piece stand out from other French Louis XV mantels...
