PAIR OF BENTWOOD & RUSH ARMCHAIRS, FRANCE 1950'S

A French armchair of real warmth and intelligence — its bentwood frame sweeping through a continuous arc from armrest to front leg with the kind of quiet engineering confidence that defines the best mid-century French craft. The structure is dark, almost ebonised in tone, the wood worn smooth at the armrests where hands have rested for decades. Against that darkness, the rush seat and back panel glow honey-warm — woven in a bold basket weave that is open enough to breathe and tight enough to last another seventy years.
