3 Vintage French White Painted Cast Aluminum Garden Chairs w/ Decorative Foliate Backs

A set of three 1970s French cast aluminum garden side chairs, painted in soft white. Each petite chair features a tall openwork back, richly cast with entwined scrolls framing floral medallions and leafy branches, the crest crowned with stylized foliate motifs that lend a delicate, almost romantic flourish. The pierced seats carry arabesque medallions, while the slender legs follow a subtle cabriole line, ending in pad feet that give the forms lightness and poise. The surfaces retain a clean, even finish with gentle weathering to the paint, consistent with outdoor use.

These chairs belong to the long French garden furniture tradition, where ornate openwork backs and scrolling motifs were inspired by 19th-century cast-iron models made for parks, terraces, and cafés. By the mid-20th century, foundries revived these patterns in lighter aluminum, preserving the decorative silhouettes while making them easier to move and more resistant to corrosion.

Equally striking on a gravel terrace, beneath climbing roses, or in a conservatory, the trio offers charm and versatility. Grouped around a bistro table or placed along a garden path, they bring a romantic accent to outdoor settings. Indoors, they can be used as occasional chairs in a sunroom, entry, or bedroom, their crisp white tracery harmonizing beautifully with terracotta, wicker, or greenery.
