This set of six oak and rush chairs, dating from the 1940s, belongs to the tradition of French regionalist Art Deco, as seen in the work of figures such as Victor Courtray or Joseph Savina. During this period, furniture design sought to reconcile formal rigor with a deep connection to local craftsmanship, favoring simple, durable materials executed with great precision in both design and construction. Conceived for everyday use, these chairs express a measured modernity, shaped by the decorative legacy of the 1930s and by a more essential approach born of postwar constraints. The solid oak frames display balanced proportions and gently tapered legs, reflecting a sober vocabulary in which line takes precedence over ornament. The oak, deliberately left expressive, has developed a warm, deep patina that highlights the grain and natural variations of the wood. The construction is direct and fully legible, reinforced by low stretchers that emphasize the functional and robust character of the ensemble. The seats and backrests are woven in natural rush with great regularity and care. The seats feature a tight, radiating pattern with a discreet yet controlled geometry. The backrests are distinguished by an open rectangular motif, framed with carefully wrapped rush, recalling certain graphic explorations of late Art Deco applied to rural or regional furniture. The contrast between the dark oak structure and the lighter woven surfaces creates a subtle dialogue of materials and textures. Together, the six chairs form a coherent and harmonious set, emblematic of a French Art Deco tradition equally attached to artisanal heritage and modernity. Furniture conceived to endure, to serve, and to acquire a dignified patina over time.
