This grey wooden child's chair, sourced with a country and shabby chic spirit, captivates with its soft patina and antique furniture look. Dating from the 1950s, it has been cleaned to restore its original appearance, while its handcrafted construction gives it a slight quirk of character, true to handmade pieces. Its seat height is suitable for the youngest and also allows it to be used at the end of a sofa or as a bedside table, depending on the needs of the home. In a bedroom or living room, it readily welcomes a book, a lamp, or a small vase. Placed near a bed and topped with a dried bouquet, it brings a delicate and refined touch.

A little history of the chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who led 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 democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
