About the Item
A charming high back fireside chair, crafted in Europe circa 1940s. This piece features a sculptural oak frame with a beautifully aged patina, paired with its original leatherette upholstery. The tall, slightly curved backrest offers a refined silhouette, while the generous seat and angled legs give it a grounded, sturdy presence. Originally designed to be placed near the hearth, fireside chairs were intended to provide comfort and warmth while sitting by the fire — their high backs helping to shield against drafts. This example evokes mid-century rustic charm and would sit beautifully in any cosy living space or reading nook.
