Know before you buy
These are authentic early 20th-century French pieces, meaning they carry the genuine history and character of that era rather than being modern reproductions.
To maintain the leather's texture and integrity, keep the chairs out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. We recommend using a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and dusting them regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
With a height of 51 inches, these chairs have a tall, stately profile that commands attention. While they are well-suited for libraries and studies, ensure you have adequate vertical clearance and floor space for their 24-inch width and 23.5-inch depth.
Yes, the frames are crafted from solid walnut, a hardwood known for its durability and strength. Given their age, they have proven their structural integrity over time, making them suitable for regular use in a formal seating arrangement.
No, these chairs are designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor humidity, temperature fluctuations, and direct UV rays can damage the antique leather and the wood frame.
