Know before you buy
These are authentic vintage Pierre Jeanneret Office Cane Chairs originally crafted in Chandigarh, India, circa 1954. They have been meticulously restored to maintain their historical integrity.
The restoration focuses on preserving the original teak wood frames while ensuring structural stability. Each chair has been recently recaned by skilled artisans to restore the comfort and tension of the seat and backrest.
Natural cane is a durable, organic material that benefits from occasional light dusting and a damp cloth wipe-down. To prevent the cane from becoming brittle, keep the chairs away from direct heat sources or prolonged, intense sunlight.
The teak wood is typically treated with a finish that highlights its natural grain and warm patina. This finish protects the wood while maintaining the authentic, matte aesthetic characteristic of mid-century modernist furniture.
Yes, these chairs are designed for office use and provide excellent ergonomic support due to their angled backrest and sturdy construction. The recent recaning ensures they are comfortable and supportive for extended periods of sitting.
Because these are authentic vintage pieces handcrafted in the 1950s, each chair possesses unique characteristics. You may notice slight variations in the wood grain, patina, or the hand-woven pattern of the cane, which are hallmarks of their artisanal origin.
