Masterfully hand-carved from solid wood, these chairs feature elegant frames adorned with a hand-painted antique white finish, highlighted by light green, yellow, orange, and red paint accents. The paint has developed a naturally aged patina, with characterful distressed areas adding to their charm. The chairs have been structurally restored and retain their original hand-woven cane backs, which remain in excellent condition. While the cane seats have experienced wear over the years, we have added custom padded cushions upholstered in a striped green and blue linen fabric, complete with matching piping and back bows to secure them in place. Their serpentine-shaped seats and sides enhance the graceful silhouette, further complemented by intricately hand-carved cabriole legs. Solid, stable, and exhibiting exceptional joinery, these chairs embody the timeless sophistication of traditional French craftsmanship.
