Description
A charming pair of 19th-century French Provençal nurse’s chairs, distinguished by their notably low seats, a form traditionally associated with fireside seating and domestic interiors. Crafted in solid beechwood, the chairs feature ladderback supports with gently shaped slats and simple turned details typical of regional Provençal craftsmanship.
Originally designed to sit close to the hearth, these chairs combine practical function with rustic elegance. The woven seats complement the warm tone of the wood, while the honest construction reflects the vernacular furniture traditions of southern France.
Rare to find as a matching pair, these chairs occupy a space between folk art and collectible provincial seating. Their sculptural proportions make them equally suited for decorative placement or occasional use within both traditional and relaxed contemporary interiors.
This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions! -
