19th Century French Provincial Ladder Back Maple Dining Chairs W/ Rust Seats - Set of 8

A charming set of eight early 19th century French Country ladder-back dining chairs sourced from Provence, France. Crafted from solid maple with a warm, naturally aged patina and subtle tonal variation throughout the frames. Each chair features a classic three-slat ladder back with gently shaped uprights and hand-carved shell motifs at the crest rail and front stretcher. The seats retain their traditional hand-woven natural rush in a tight envelope pattern, showing beautiful color variation consistent with age. The chairs have been structurally revised and reinforced to ensure stability and everyday usability. All joints have been checked and tightened as needed, and the frames have been freshly waxed to preserve the wood and enhance the patina while maintaining an authentic surface. Elegant yet relaxed in character, this set reflects the refined provincial craftsmanship of the early 1800s and works equally well in formal dining settings or more casual interiors.
