AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A charming low fireplace chair in solid oak, attributed to Charles Dudouyt, with a newly woven rush seat.
This is not a children’s chair, although just from seeing pictures are often mistaken for one. It is a low adult chair, made to sit close to the fire, it has a wide and robust stance, seat, heavy legs and a strong, grounded presence.
The chair has that wonderful French rustic-modern character Dudouyt is loved for: strong oak, honest construction, a low and generous posture, and a design that feels both humble and intentional. It is the kind of chair that belongs close to a fireplace, in a library corner or in a quiet bedroom, where its warm oak and handwoven rush bring exactly the right amount of texture and soul.
The frame has been refinished, allowing the grain and depth of the oak to come forward beautifully. The rush seat has been renewed, so the chair is fresh, clean and ready to use, while still keeping the spirit and presence of the original piece.
The chair shows visible traces of age, including some old woodworm marks in the oak - at the back of the rear legs (which have been filled and now almost invisible). This has been expertly treated by the freezing method and have shown no return during long-term storage. Structurally the chair is stable and in good restored vintage condition.
A poetic and useful little chair: modest in scale, rich in atmosphere, and very easy to place in both modern and more rustic interiors.

Seller's Story
Studio Eklektik (est. 2023) is a Dutch online gallery specialising in Dutch Art Deco, modernist antiques, and eclectic design, lighting and objects.
We are drawn to pieces that do more than furnish a space: objects with history in their grain, atmosphere in their silhouette and a certain drama in the way they catch the light. The emphasis is on Dutch Art Deco, especially Amsterdam School and Hague School design, but our eye is deliberately eclectic. We curate across categories and era's, but never without direction: every object has to bring something to the room, whether through form, craftsmanship, history or atmosphere.
We ship worldwide. For purchases in auction, buyers may also choose pick-up, after which we can provide our best shipping quote at cost price. For multiple purchases or larger objects, we can offer professionally crated shipment on request.
