Set of 4 Vintage French Country Oak Ladder-Back Dining Chairs with Rush Seats

The kind of French country chairs that make a dining room immediately feel more collected.

This set of four oak ladder-back dining chairs features beautifully shaped scalloped back slats, turned legs and stretchers, and handwoven rush seats with a distinctive geometric weave. The warm, timeworn oak has developed a rich patina that gives the set exactly the character we look for in vintage furniture.

Their tall ladder backs give them an elegant silhouette while the rush seats keep everything relaxed and unfussy. They feel equally at home around a rustic farmhouse table, mixed with a more contemporary dining table, or used individually as occasional chairs throughout the home.

We especially love the slightly irregular, aged finish of the oak—the kind of warmth that new furniture spends decades trying to imitate.

Sold as a matching set of four.

CONDITION
Vintage condition consistent with age and use. The oak shows attractive variations in tone, surface wear, scratches, marks and naturally developed patina throughout.

The woven rush seats show age-related variation and wear but appear visually intact in the supplied photographs. As with all vintage rush seating, we recommend normal care and avoiding excessive moisture or concentrated weight.

Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of the condition description.

DĒSSO NOTE
We source vintage pieces for their craftsmanship, history and beautifully imperfect character. Signs of age are not considered defects—they are part of what makes each piece unique.
