Single Brettlistuhl chair in beechwood dating to the 20th century.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fascinating and authentic rustic single chair model "Brettlistuhl" (slatted chair), a typical example of Alpine artisanal craftsmanship from the late 19th or early 20th century.
This chair stands out for its splendid shaped backrest, enriched by a finely turned upper crossbar that traditionally served as a handle, and by a hand-carved concentric geometric motif on the central crossbar. The seat is made with the classic technique of closely laid slats in solid wood, firmly anchored to the lower frame. The front legs feature refined turning work that gives the piece momentum and character.
A detail of great historical value is the typical burn marks and dark halos around the points where the seat is fastened, caused by the natural ferric oxidation of the old period studs in contact with the wood, an element that certifies its absolute authenticity and the originality of the components.
Condition:
The item presents good structural condition, stable and fully usable. It shows a magnificent patina of age, with light and normal signs of surface wear on the seat and on the little feet, consistent with its age, which enhances its historical charm without compromising its solidity. No recent invasive restoration work: the wood preserves its original character.
Perfect as an accent chair for a desk, for an entryway, or as an eclectic decorative element in a modern or rustic interior (chalet, taverns).
