Period rustic chair with a straw seat

Period or rustic-style chair, more specifically a ladder-back chair with a rush seat. The seat is made of rye straw or rush, woven using a traditional technique that forms four triangles converging at the centre. The backrest features two slightly curved horizontal rails known as rungs or slats, which is typical of French country or provincial furniture. It is made of solid wood, probably oak or beech, with a beautiful natural patina suggesting a certain age. This is a robust model, originally designed for daily use in rural kitchens or dining rooms. It is an ideal piece for a Country Chic style decor or to add a vintage and warm touch to a modern interior. Width 40, height 84/43, depth 36.
