A beautiful set of eight authentic mid-century French ladder-back dining chairs (“chaise paillée”), handcrafted circa 1950–1965 in France. Each features a solid wood frame—likely beech or cherry—with handwoven rush seats in the traditional four-way pattern.
These chairs embody the honest, rustic-modern craftsmanship of postwar French design, a style popularized by Charlotte Perriand’s alpine interiors at Méribel and Les Arcs. While these are not Perriand-designed, they share the same elegant simplicity and vernacular origins, likely produced by a regional Jura or Savoie workshop.
They remain completely original and unrestored, showing gentle age-appropriate wear and an even, warm patina. The set is structurally excellent and ready for use.
