Crafted in the mid-20th century they offerss a sculptural silhouette and tactile richness that make them ideal as either the heart of a room or its visual anchor. with their elegantly curved backrests and generously proportioned armrests, these chairs invite the sitter to recline with ease, arms gently supported by the wide, padded contours.

The design is both imposing and inviting: the thick, enveloping frames create a sense of intimacy and enclosure, while the floral tapestry upholstery adds a layer of charm and softness. The fabric, woven in warm tones of red, pink, green, and ochre, evokes a romantic French countryside aesthetic, balanced by the carved wooden bases painted in a distressed ivory with gilded accents. These subtle color echoes between textile and frame speak to the thoughtful craftsmanship behind the ensemble.

Whether placed in a grand entranceway, a salon, or a quiet reading corner, each chair stands as a decorative statement, robust in construction, refined in detail, and unmistakably French in spirit. Their sculptural volume and ornamental flair make them suitable for both traditional and eclectic interiors.
