This pair of second-hand chairs in white and pink wood and fabric showcases an exuberant Louis XVI style, enhanced by white-painted wood and delicate floral patterns on the seat. Their fabric backs and seats add a refined textile touch, while the set retains the elegance of a carefully sourced piece with a strong decorative character. With their comfortable seat height, they naturally fit around a dining table, in a dining room or a bedroom. Paired with a light wood table and a few vintage plates, they create a polished décor, punctuated by freshly cut bouquets. As second-hand pieces, they bear the marks of their past: stains on the fabric, but easily washable.

A brief history of the chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a back was a rare privilege, reserved for the person leading the assembly: the "president" (from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front). Long a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became widespread in the 18th century, becoming an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a design intended to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest for both lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making every seat a witness to the history of comfort.
