Know before you buy
The seat is original to the 1920s and features a natural patina, which means it is more delicate than a modern chair. While it is structurally sound for occasional use as an accent piece, we recommend avoiding heavy or daily seating to preserve the integrity of the vintage straw.
This piece retains its original finish and construction. As with any authentic antique, there may be minor movement consistent with its age, but the oak frame remains solid and stable for its intended use as a decorative statement piece.
To preserve the original patina, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or polishes. Simply dust the carved oak with a soft, dry cloth and use a vacuum with a brush attachment on a low setting to gently remove debris from the woven straw.
The chair stands at 44.25 inches tall with a seat height of 16.5 inches. Because the backrest is quite tall and features decorative carving, it is best suited as a standalone accent chair rather than a functional desk chair.
The wear, patina, and aged appearance are inherent to the chair's history and are considered part of its character rather than damage. These details confirm its authenticity as a 1920s French piece.
