Lorraine Chair - Dark

Found in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, this 19th-century Lorraine chair has straight back legs, and turned front legs which is the regional signature of country chairs from northeastern France, where the joiners worked in a tradition that was half French and half German. The oak is dark and worn smooth on the seat where someone has sat for a hundred and fifty years. Sylvie pulls it up to a long dining table with five others around it, or sets it alone in a breakfast nook with a small plate, a coffee cup, and the morning's croissant.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
