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
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.
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.

ReplyDeleteI love anything French or needlepoint. Beautiful pieces.
ReplyDeleteSigh...so gorgeous I could cry. I only have one French style chair but need so many more. I keep looking but none have come my way. I'm a patient gal and only wish to find the beautiful carved chair I dream of.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful chairs. Swoon....
ReplyDeleteI too have a love for french chairs ;-) they are just gorgeous. While on vacation in Florida I scoop up a pretty french chair, that I have plans to refurbish ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll of your french chairs are to die for.

I love your chairs, so beautiful! I was dumb enough years ago to let one go at a yard sale for $15. It needed a complete reupholster job but the bones were still gorgeous. Now every time I see a post with pretty chairs I kick myself. I not only love your chairs but the mirror you have between the two as well.
ReplyDeleteWe love the same beautiful ... EVERYTHING! You (we) have great taste. I do love those chairs!
