About the Item
T-Back Oak Dining Chair, France, 1950s – 120 Available
Crafted in France during the 1950s, this collection of solid oak T-back chairs is a striking example of mid-century utility furniture elevated by thoughtful, rustic design. With 120 pieces available, these chairs offer a rare opportunity for large-scale hospitality or design projects. Yet, their craftsmanship and charm make them ideal as individual accents or dining pieces.
Each chair features a sculptural T-shaped backrest with a cut-out slot at the lower spine that provides a visual break and a functional grip for easy handling. The proportions are comfortably balanced: the seat rests at a standard 45 cm height, while the overall chair stands 84 cm tall, with a 48 cm width and 46 cm depth. The solid oak construction displays natural grain variation, and a warm, honeyed patina developed over decades of use.
The design is rooted in traditional French vernacular furniture, reinterpreted through a postwar lens where durability and simplicity were prioritized. Turned legs connected by stretcher bars enhance stability while adding a subtle handcrafted feel. The subtly contoured seat and ergonomic angle of the backrest allow for comfortable, upright seating—ideal for cafés, restaurants, or long dining sessions.
Sold individually, these chairs are in excellent vintage condition, with visible wear consistent with age, adding to their authentic character. They can be used as-is for a wabi-sabi aesthetic or refinished for a cleaner contemporary look.
Whether used en masse or as standalone statement pieces, these 1950s French T-back chairs blend rustic charm with honest modernist lines.
