Set of 6 French Art Deco Walnut Dining Chairs in Ivory Ribbed Upholstery, 1930s
A set of six French Art Deco dining chairs from the 1930s, sourced in Provence, France. The chairs feature beautifully proportioned walnut frames with gently curved upholstered backrests, broad padded seats, and tapered legs terminating in subtly outward-sweeping feet. The open space between the seat and backrest, together with the continuous curve of the rear supports, gives the chairs a distinctive architectural profile characteristic of French Art Deco design. The walnut showcases a warm, rich tone with a natural patina that highlights the subtle variations in grain and finish. Each chair has been newly reupholstered in a heavyweight ivory-white cotton fabric featuring a pronounced ribbed weave and richly textured surface. The substantial fabric adds depth and softness to the streamlined wooden frames, while olive green gimp trim outlines the outer backrests, providing a restrained decorative contrast. The chairs have been structurally revised, cleaned, and polished with wax, preserving the character of the wood finish. Solid and stable, with minor wear consistent with age and use.
