French Style Chairs

Oh how I love French style chairs.

With all those carvings 

and itty bitty details that might be small 

but that have a huge amount of charm.

There is something about chairs... 

and I will admit to having a bit of a 'chair love affair'

Whether they are antique or new

a French or French style chair makes me swoon.

Sometimes their lines are simple

and sometimes they are over the top deliciously detailed
like this pair of French needlepoint chairs

Talk about details!
The details don't stop at that apple green velvet and needlepoint covering of pretty flowers.

 

Frames carved with bows, fluting and tons of charm

and on top of that- they wear a perfect coat of old patina.

They are some of my favorites for sure.

You might remember the set of chairs I found while junking at the Re-Store

Junking treasures 

They are vintage- from around 1920's and are projects waiting to be reimagined

and they have very similar lines to some of the other chairs I love.

Like this caned side chair

and dining chairs.

One more for now

 because I could get carried away and share so many more 

French style chairs that I love

 ;)

With it's classic and simple french style 

this chair makes me a little weak at the knees.

Pretty much in love with that petite weathered worn frame

 and...

I love a chair that is as pretty from the back as it is from the front

With it's exposed stretcher
 this one definitely fits that bill.

I will share more about it and where I found it in a separate post

but for now~ click over to visit the other ladies who are sharing

some of their favorite French chair inspirations as part of our monthly French inspired series.

Happy Sunday!
