Item Details

Set of four French Arras wrought-iron garden chairs, circa 1890.
These chairs feature curved frames with slatted seats. They are supported on cross-frames with arched stretchers and flat feet.
They are painted white with light wear from years of outdoor use.
The northern town of Arras was famous for its iron foundries, which produced this beautiful style of furniture up until the Second World War.
They used a unique method of extrusion - 'demi tube' - which gave the iron a rounded finish. This allows surface water to drain and prevent rust. It also made for a much more comfortable seat!
Arras furniture peppered private and public outdoor spaces in France since production began in 1840 until it ceased in the mid 20th Century.
Their garden furniture combines durability and a stylish aesthetic, as seen in these chairs.
This is a lovely set with timeless aesthetic appeal.
