AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of beech-woven chairs – French rustic / Provençal style – 20th century
Charming pair of antique chairs in stained beech wood, with traditional natural straw seats braided.
The openwork backs are composed of three shaped rails, the top rail featuring a pretty carved floral motif.
The slightly curved uprights and the curved front feet add a lot of elegance to the whole.

The seats feature a beautiful traditional straw weaving done in four directions, forming a geometric pattern converging toward the center.
This type of construction is part of the tradition of regional French wicker-seated chairs.
Their silhouette echoes the vocabulary of rustic French furniture, in the Provençal and Louis XV taste, while probably dating from the first third / mid-20th century.

Estimated period: first half of the 20th century
Proposed dating: circa 1920–1940
Style: French rustic / provincial, Louis XV inspiration
Wood: probably solid beech stained and varnished
Seat: straw / natural plant fibers braided
Height: 95 cm
Length: 44 cm
Width: 38 cm
Quantity: 2 chairs
Condition: good overall for their age.
The frames show some marks and natural signs of wear.
The straw seats are well preserved and the whole retains a lovely antique patina.
