Made of solid wood stained dark brown—likely oak or elm—these chairs display a distinctly peasant character, typical of interiors in central and southwestern France.

Their backrests, composed of four horizontal spindles with a finely scalloped, undulating profile, are one of the most recognizable features of regional French furniture. The square, straight legs, both robust and understated, are reinforced by low crossbars on all four sides, ensuring exceptional sturdiness.

The seats alternate between natural woven rush and cushions covered in aged tanned leather, lending warmth and authenticity to the set. The patina of the wood, the slightly cracked leather, and the naturally worn rush give these pieces a unique character and soul that only time can bestow.

Sold as is, these chairs will appeal to both lovers of rustic and country decor and collectors of regional antique furniture. Ideal for creating a dining room with authentic character or adding a vintage touch to a contemporary interior.
