Painted Provençal Rush Armchair with Matching Ottoman

A lovely Provençal armchair with a matching ottoman, dating from the second half of the 20th century and inspired by the elegant forms of the Louis XVI style.

Designed with a curved ottoman that fits seamlessly against the chair, the armchair extends into an inviting chaise for reading or relaxation. The carved wooden frame is painted in a soft duck egg blue with bright yellow highlights accentuating the moldings and carved floral crest, a cheerful palette that immediately recalls the colors of Provence.

A striking double ladder-back, turned legs, handwoven rush seats, and elegantly curved carved stretchers complete the design. The removable paisley cushions complement the Provençal aesthetic.

The painted finish features an intentionally aged patina that softens the overall appearance of the piece. The rush remains in good condition with light fraying, while the cushions show discreet staining and slight discoloration, and could easily be reupholstered to suit individual tastes. With its cheerful Provençal palette and graceful Louis XVI-inspired lines, this conversation chair brings a sunny, relaxed spirit to any interior.

Whether placed in a living room, bedroom, garden room, or covered terrace, it serves as a distinctive decorative piece, adding warmth, color, and unmistakable French country charm. A pair of matching demi-lune consoles is available separately, allowing for a beautifully coordinated ensemble.
