They perfectly illustrate the mid-century rustic style, combining traditional woodworking techniques with simple, robust forms.

The design is characterised by corkscrew-turned legs and front stretcher, slightly curved armrests and a clean-lined structure that give the chairs balanced proportions and an understated design, while the woven rush introduces a natural texture and tone that contrasts with the darker colour of the wood.

Good overall condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. Recently polished. See less
