Late 19th century French Arras garden chair w/ claw feet

This elegant garden chair dates to the late 19th century and is a fine example of classic Arras design. Handcrafted in wrought iron with distinctive claw feet (pied griffe), it features beautifully aged layers of paint that reflect decades of use and exposure. The gently weathered patina adds depth and character, while riveted joints on the back reveal the quality of its construction.

Arras garden furniture was produced in northern France from the mid-19th century, renowned for its durability and craftsmanship. Pieces were often galvanized to resist rust and built using solid iron, making them ideal for outdoor use in gardens and orangeries.

This piece is both sculptural and functional, with timeless appeal for classic and contemporary settings alike.
