1930s Vintage French Fireside Chair – Charles Dudouyt Chaise Basse Design
Bring home a rare and iconic piece of French design history with this original 1930s “Chaise Basse” low chair by celebrated designer Charles Dudouyt. Created as a fireside chair for adults, this low-profile seat showcases Dudouyt’s masterful blend of Art Deco refinement and the honest, sculptural craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Handcrafted in solid walnut, the chair features bold geometric lines, expertly executed joinery, and a beautifully preserved woven cane seat. It has been gently restored using traditional French wax methods—reviving the wood’s natural luster while retaining its authentic vintage character and patina.
Highly sought after by collectors and interior designers, original Dudouyt low chairs are prized for their sculptural form, comfort, and versatility. Perfect for reading nooks, fireside settings, low tables, or as a standout accent piece in a curated interior, this chair offers both visual impact and everyday usability.
This example is in exceptional aesthetic and structural condition, making it a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine 1930s French design collectible. A true heirloom piece—and one of my personal favorites.
