Pair of François Carre Sunburst Metal Rocking Chairs, France, 1930s

Creator: Francois Carré
Offered by: Vintage Looks

Description
A striking pair of vintage metal rocking chairs designed by François Carre, featuring his iconic “sunburst” pattern of radiating steel slats. Originally conceived in France during the 1930s, Carre’s work is celebrated for its sculptural elegance and enduring outdoor functionality. These examples, finished in vibrant green enamel, showcase the designer’s signature blend of artistry and engineering — with gracefully curved arms and springing cantilever bases that provide a gentle rocking motion. Perfect for garden, patio, or interior use, this rare pair exemplifies the collectible appeal and timeless charm of early modern French outdoor furniture design.
