With their dark wood and black studded fabric seats, these vintage country chairs bring a sober and refined touch around a table. The wooden structure emphasizes a discreet presence, while the fabric seat offers comfort suitable for both daily meals and prolonged moments at the table. Their elongated backrest and size designed for the dining room allow for easy integration into a warm interior, alongside a wooden table or linen in natural tones. They can also be imagined in an open kitchen, paired with antique crockery and some fresh flowers. This second-hand piece bears the marks of its history: some signs of wear. Width: 45 cm Depth: 33 cm Height: 92.5 cm Seat height: 48 cm Seat width: 45.5 cm Seat depth: 41 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one leading the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, meaning to sit in front]. For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an object of everyday life. It is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a testament to the history of comfort.
