French Wood Chair

Soft blush-pink and plump, with curves from the crest to the toes.

This wooden French chair is from France, and dates to the 20th century. It is wood. Wooden chairs in France were made across the countryside and in city workshops, and their frames often rely on mortise and tenon joints that can last for generations. Deep armchair with winged sides, a loose seat cushion in soft dusty pink and a frame of dark gilded curves with carved shell at the crest and apron. The legs bend out into scrolled feet, and the cushion is a bit sunken. It is 29 inches long, 22 deep and 39 high.

Built for sinking in and for staying put.
