Thick, oak frames are carved and shaped in the iconic "Os de Mouton" profile (like mutton bones) which is a biomorphic silhouette that pairs nicely with the lush foliate imagery in the textile. The fabric is rendered in muted tones of sage, gray, and khaki for subtle contrast between the overlapping canopy of tree limbs while a large nailhead trim around the seats offers textural contrast. Generous in scale and very comfortable for dining, the timeless style would not be out of place in more professional settings as well. Note the wood frames have been cleaned and gently refinished to preserve their historic character. The upholstery is in good condition, with some wear visible on certain chairs.
