Featuring an impressive five-slat backrest—a sign of superior craftsmanship—these chairs offer a powerful vertical rhythm and architectural presence.

Constructed from solid oak with a deep, warm honey patina, the frames remain exceptionally sturdy. The hand-woven rush seats (paille de seigle) are original. While they show some signs of aesthetic wear and superficial fraying due to age (as seen in photos), the weaving remains tight and perfectly functional. This natural aging process adds a "Wabi-Sabi" charm that many collectors value over modern reproductions.

Perfect for a large dining table, these chairs bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern minimalist interiors. See less
