This set of two antique Dutch chairs dates from circa 1840 and is crafted from fruitwood. The design is characterized by refined, classic styling with a striking carved backrest depicting a vase with ears of corn, indicating 19th-century craftsmanship.
The chairs are constructed from solid fruitwood and feature a traditional woven rush seat. The warm, brown tone of the wood emphasizes the natural grain and the authentic character of the set. The construction features turned front legs and a slightly curved backrest for comfort. The provenance is documented with an original purchase invoice from Van der Steen Antiquairs dating from 2011.
The set is in good condition, commensurate with its age and use. The wood has developed an authentic patina that contributes to its historic appearance. The rush seats are intact and functional, retaining their original structure.
These antique chairs look excellent in a classic or country interior. They function beautifully as accent chairs in a hallway, bedroom, or as an addition to an authentic dining area, where they add a touch of historical charm.
