Know before you buy
The frames date back to the 1940s and have been recently refreshed with a dark stain. They retain charming, authentic imperfections that reflect their age and history.
These chairs are designed for occasional seating rather than deep lounging. The firm support of the wood frame paired with the new Italian velvet upholstery makes them ideal for an entryway, bedroom, or as accent seating in a living room.
The velvet is a high-quality textile that provides a luxurious feel and vibrant color. While it is suitable for regular use, velvet requires gentle care and should be kept away from direct, harsh sunlight to maintain its color and texture.
The combination of the 1940s French silhouette and the bold yellow velvet creates a striking contrast. They work best as statement pieces in a minimalist or eclectic space where their unique bobbin legs and criss-cross detailing can stand out.
With a seat height of 18 inches, these chairs are compatible with most standard dining tables. However, please note that the armrests may prevent them from pushing fully under some table aprons.
