Description from the seller
An old caned turned-wood chair – Napoléon III style – France – late 19th century, circa 1880-1900
Elegant old turned-wood chair with a caned seat, presenting a slender, refined silhouette characteristic of French furniture from the late 19th century.
The frame is made of solid wood, probably beech stained in a beautiful dark brown tone, with a lovely patina acquired over time.
The pierced backrest is composed of three slightly curved slats, framed by two turned uprights ending in small finials.
The front legs turned as well as the decorative stretchers add a great deal of finesse to the whole.
The seat consists of natural cane weave, in a honey color that nicely contrasts with the deep brown of the wood.
The chair retains the marks and patina nuances typical of its age, which contribute to its authenticity and charm.
The cane is present and the structure appears complete in the photographs.
