Among the few pieces I would love to own, are a pair of cane backed arm chairs. Ever since I saw then in a house tour post on Apartment therapy, my hunt has become pretty serious. One look at them and I knew I had to have them ...lol

My hunt led me to create another inspirations folder ..funny me!!. Here is my collection of varied models and styles.
Thought I would begin with a pair of bentwood (thonet style) arm chairs - Circa 1940's. They are a straight back so may not work well in a lounge /living area set up. These seem more like a dining /captain chair variety

Straight backs with a southern style porch rocker look. (similar to Brumby rockers)

Now for a few French Parlour style curved back or barrel back chairs...French style vintage pair...not sure of the wood though

Very ornate ones but without the upholstery

Can you stop drooling over this set, currently on sale by owner (Priced right for its worth but def out of my budget!!)
Sleek curved back chairs with a square weave.
Now take a look at this...This is not your typical lounge chair....(couldnt afford it else would have bought it!!)
These chairs are paired with a fabric or a wooden loveseat or a settee. The combination looks good and works well in a modern as well as traditional set up. They also look good all by themselves and are recommended as small space lounging solutions.

Straight back parlour chair with removable cushions. Straight panel weaving gives the chair a very traditional vintage look.
Another straight back with honey comb weave
Loved this chair and rocker combination

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI have the exact chair as the first picture, and am actually looking to sell it. It is one of the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat in, and will be sad to see it go!
If interested you can contact me at: Kschuchard418@gmail.com
An occasional chair is a beautiful piece of furniture that is an essential item in every house and one such chair in beautiful hand carving, hand polishing and quality upholstery certainly goes on to enhance the decor of a living space, especially a library or a guest room and also adds to the functionality aspect.
