About the Item

Set of 16 Mid-Century Modern Elmwood Highback Dining Chairs, France, 1970 Refined and architecturally striking, this rare set of 16 highback dining chairs epitomizes the essence of French mid-century modern design. Crafted in France circa 1970, these chairs feature a minimalist yet sculptural profile, with gracefully contoured backs and robust elmwood construction that highlights the rich grain and honey-toned warmth of the wood. The design speaks to the clean lines and organic materials celebrated during the era, offering a seamless blend of form and function. Each chair is constructed with precision, emphasizing symmetry and balance. The dual-slat high back design offers both visual interest and ergonomic support, while the subtly curved seats provide comfort without compromising the chair’s refined silhouette. Ideal for both residential and commercial interiors, these chairs make a powerful statement around a long dining table or as accent seating in a modernist space. Despite their age, the chairs remain in good vintage condition, showing only light wear consistent with age and use—minor scratches and surface marks that enhance their authenticity without affecting structural integrity. Their enduring quality and rare quantity make this set a perfect choice for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking to outfit a sophisticated dining area with timeless elegance.
