Vintage French Beach Chair with Canopy, Mid 20th C.

Offered by: Modern Antiquarian

Description
This French folding beach chair features a charming built-in canopy, crafted from striped and fringed canvas in warm, weathered tones. The wood frame folds neatly, while the draped fabric enclosure offers both sun protection and a sense of vintage privacy. With its graceful lines and tactile materials, the chair evokes a relaxed yet refined coastal aesthetic. Originating in early 20th-century seaside resorts, canopy chairs like this were staples of French beach culture-designed for comfort, modesty, and elegance along bustling promenades. Once found lining the shores of places like Deauville and Biarritz, these chairs reflect a time when leisure was elevated to art. A nostalgic and functional piece for indoor or outdoor display. Please note the arm straps need to replaced. Wear consistent with age and use. 24"w x 35"d x 63"h
