Interesting French Louis XVI style chair; the wooden structure, painted with gold paint and then antiqued, is embellished with elegant neoclassical motifs; the legs are straight and grooved; the sturdy seat is made of Vienna straw and is much wider than normal, the soft purple cushion rests on it; the backrest is commensurate with the seat, so it is very large, divided into three sections and finished with fine Vienna straw workmanship. The chair was made between 1950 and 1955 in an artisan workshop near Paris certainly by a very skilled cabinetmaker, a revival inspired by the Louis XVII style; in fact, pieces from the 1950s often incorporated design elements from earlier periods. The construction process of the backrest and seat, made of "Vienna straw", uses equally spaced holes and woven plant material.
