French Modernist Easy Chairs in the Manner of Francis Jourdain, 1940s

A lovely pair of French modernist easy chairs from the 1940s, defined by their strong architectural silhouette and beautifully balanced proportions. The solid oak frames are enriched with hand-carved geometric motifs that lend depth and rhythm without overwhelming the clean lines of the design. The woven rush seats and backs provide a warm, natural contrast to the dark-stained oak while emphasizing the honest use of materials. Their low, generous profile and wide armrests create an inviting presence, making them equally suited to a living room, library or gallery-like interior. The restrained geometry and refined construction recall the work of early French modernist designers such as Francis Jourdain, while remaining distinctive in their own right. The combination of carved detailing and woven rush gives the chairs a timeless character that bridges rustic craftsmanship and modernist design. A sculptural and highly decorative pair with a quiet yet unmistakable presence. Priced and sold as a set of two pieces. Measurements: H 76 x W 62.5 x D 62 x SH 37 cm
