About the Item

Pair of Mid-Century French Folk Art Painted Beechwood Chairs, France, 1960s Delightfully whimsical and unmistakably unique, this pair of Mid-Century French folk art chairs from the 1960s captures the joyful essence of postwar European craftsmanship. Handmade in France and constructed from solid beechwood, these sculptural chairs boast a lively, multicolored hand-painted finish that instantly energizes any interior space. Their wavy slat backrests and vibrantly contrasting legs reflect a playful, almost surrealist spirit evocative of the Memphis movement, yet rooted in the rustic authenticity of French provincial folk traditions. The harmonious mismatch of hues across each structural element—ranging from lemon yellow and electric blue to fuchsia and orange—enhances their artisanal charm, while subtle wear to the paintwork adds desirable vintage character. Meticulously balanced and structurally sound, these chairs are as functional as they are visually compelling, ideal for use as accent pieces in a modern or eclectic setting. With proportions suited for comfortable everyday use, the chairs measure 87 cm in height, 61 cm in width, and 55 cm in depth, with a seat height of 46 cm. Whether styled around a contemporary dining table or placed as sculptural statements in a hallway or study, these chairs are a celebration of individuality, artistry, and the enduring appeal of handcrafted design. A rare find that perfectly bridges utility and artistic expression—offered as a pair.
