Know before you buy
Yes, these chairs were crafted for durability and remain structurally sound. However, as they are vintage pieces from the 1940s, they should be treated with the care appropriate for antique furniture.
The rush seats are original to the chairs and feature a natural patina consistent with their age. While they remain intact and functional, you may notice slight variations in texture and color that reflect their history.
To preserve the original finish and patina, we recommend dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes, as these can strip the aged character of the wood.
With a seat height of 18.25 inches, these chairs are designed to fit comfortably under most standard dining tables, which typically range from 28 to 30 inches in height.
The wood frames exhibit a unique, aged finish that is characteristic of 1940s French craftsmanship. Any minor surface marks or variations in the wood are part of their authentic vintage appeal rather than structural defects.
