French provincial style chair in solid wood with rush seating.

French Provincial style chair often referred to as a capucine chair or rustic kitchen chair, characterised by its elegant yet country appearance. The backrest features three curved horizontal slats (rails), typical of French rustic furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries or its later reproductions. The seat is made of traditional rush weaving, diagonally woven to form four triangles converging at the centre. The front legs are curved (Louis XV style), giving the chair a touch of sophistication despite its rustic look. Likely made from fruitwood (such as cherry or pear) or beech, which are very common for this type of regional furniture. Perfect for a dining room in French Cottage or Shabby Chic style. Width 44/36, height 98/45, depth 39.
