Vintage Brighton Pavilion–Style Rattan & Cane Armchair

A little Palm Beach fantasy in chair form.

This vintage Brighton Pavilion–style armchair is crafted in natural rattan with an airy, sculptural silhouette inspired by the exuberant Chinoiserie furniture associated with England’s Royal Pavilion at Brighton.

The curved frame, open fretwork and warm natural rattan give it that perfect mix of British Colonial, Chinoiserie and relaxed coastal design. It feels decorative without being precious—the kind of chair that instantly adds texture and personality to a room.

Beautiful used as an accent chair, desk chair, occasional dining chair, bedroom chair or statement piece in an entryway. We especially love this style mixed with more modern furniture, where the intricate rattan construction gets to be the star.

A very DĒSSO piece: collected, textural and just eccentric enough.

DIMENSIONS
Approximately 34" H

Please add the overall width, depth and seat height once measured. The LiveAuctioneers title only provides the 34" measurement, so I would not guess the others.

CONDITION
Vintage condition consistent with age and use. Expect natural variations in the rattan, minor surface wear, finish variation, scuffs and age-related patina. Please review all photographs closely for the most accurate representation of condition.

Because cane and rattan are natural materials, small variations and irregularities are part of the character of the piece.

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