Armchair-chest in solid wood, Popular Art, Auvergne, 19th century

Rural armchair in solid wood dating from the 19th century, originating from Cantal. Its particularity lies in its integrated storage compartment under the seat, while the panelled backrest and straight armrests create a sober and structured silhouette. This type of multifunctional furniture naturally found its place around the cantou, where the space was designed practically. The storage compartment under the seat was particularly intended for storing salt. The wood retains a beautiful old texture, with its irregularities, marks, and signs of use. A piece with a simple and authentic character, which brings a unique presence to a contemporary interior. Dimensions: H 95 × H seat 42 × W 62 × D 53 cm
