Here we see an impressive French set of six dining chairs and an accompanying table from the 1960s that immediately catches the eye. The powerful 'pose' of the legs gives the design of the chairs a prominent presence. The back legs come together at the top and form a triangle where they are attached with a short and long dowel for an extra robust connection. Two curved supports are attached to the backrests, again with the beautiful use of mortise and tenon connections.

The dark stained ash wood provides an extra visual layer with its dramatic flames and drawings. Almost every part of the chair has a different look. The seat is slightly concave in the center for improved comfort and is faceted at the edges. Moreover, the seat consists of two separate parts. An additional reinforcement with four bolts is attached under the front rail of the seat and adds to the aesthetic of the chair.

All finishes and techniques used for this design result in a chair with many layers and shadow effects. Definitely, an eye-catcher as mentioned earlier. Accompanying this set is a matching table with a triangular top, also made of ash wood. Very distinctive are the wedge connections sticking out from the legs, but also the notches at the corners of the tabletop.

The condition is completely consistent with age and use. We are talking about superficial scratches and small dents in the wood.

Dimensions of the table are Width: 120cm / 47.2" | Depth: 140cm / 55.1" | Height:  73cm / 28.7"
