French Belle Époque Garden Chair in Wood and Wrought Iron - 35"

A French Belle Époque garden chair, circa 1900, originally designed to fold though now fixed in place. The contoured seat and back are composed of closely spaced wooden slats set on a riveted wrought-iron frame with arched strap legs joined by a central stretcher. Both the deeply patinated wood and the iron’s warm russet finish lend the chair a quiet gravitas, its surfaces marked by age, use, and weather in the most appealing way. Timeworn yet sturdy, it captures the enduring elegance and practicality of French garden and café furniture from the turn of the century.

A characterful accent indoors or out, it pairs well with a marble-topped bistro table on a porch, conservatory, or garden pavilion. In an entry, bath, or sunroom, it lends a rustic note and can host a linen cushion or a folded throw. Its slim profile and honest patina make it an easy companion to terracotta jars, wirework planters, and weathered teak, adding authentic French garden spirit to both traditional and modern settings.
