About the Item

This exquisite mid-century dining set from the 1940s effortlessly merges historic charm with modern, organic design. Crafted from natural materials using traditional techniques, these chairs offer a timeless aesthetic that captivates the eye. The set’s distinctiveness lies in the masterful weaving of rush seats and backs, complemented by elegantly sculpted oak legs. The backs feature an intricate double-layered rush weave, forming a striking cross shape that threads through a decorative circular gap. The seats showcase the classic “rush weave” diagonal pattern, adding to their visual appeal. The lower structures boast expertly carved legs with box stretchers and ball feet, while the front stretchers mirror this craftsmanship. Influenced by Tudor and Jacobean styles, these chairs reflect the bulb-turned, heavily decorated straight legs typical of that era. This historic design, rooted in late 16th and early 17th century England and Holland, was revived and cherished in Europe throughout the 20th century. The resulting pieces are not only durable and functional but also enduringly stylish. Crafted by exceptionally skilled French artisans, these dining chairs exemplify superior craftsmanship. The high-quality wood and meticulous rush weaving make each chair a beautiful heirloom, ensuring both longevity and elegance.
