Description Catawiki
Elegant French antique armchair in Provençal/rustic style, dating probably to the first half of the 20th century, circa 1920-1940.
Its frame, likely made of solid oak, features a beautiful warm patina that naturally highlights the wood grain.
The openwork backrest is the main decorative element: its three serpentine rails are adorned with delicate vegetal sculptures, with foliage and a stylized shell motif at the top.
The slightly curved armrests rest on turned supports, while the base is reinforced with crossbars.
The set preserves the warm and authentic appearance characteristic of French regional furniture.
The seat is enhanced by a generous padded cushion covered in a deep red/burgundy fabric, offering a lovely contrast with the natural wood tones and reinforcing its Provençal character.
A particularly decorative chair, ideal in a charming interior, a country house, Provençal, bohemian, or vintage décor.
Dimensions: 95 × 53 × 45 cm.
