The radiating seat construction incorporates a degree of inherent spring, sometimes referred to as spring steel seating, giving the chairs a subtly flexible sit while maintaining structural rigidity. Lightweight tubular frames fold flat, balancing portability with sculptural presence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHandcrafted in France during the 1930s, chairs of this type were highly sought after by affluent garden and patio owners, as well as for sunrooms and conservatories. Carré's work bridged decorative garden furniture and early modern outdoor design, favoring graphic forms, open construction, and durable painted finishes well suited to exterior use. These chairs exemplify that approach, combining visual rhythm with everyday practicality.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach chair shows unique paint wear, including scattered losses, oxidation, and surface patina consistent with age and outdoor exposure. One chair has a broken seat element that will need to be reattached before use. Frames remain intact, and both chairs fold as intended. Wear is honest and visually appealing, contributing to their character rather than detracting from it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach chair: 15\" W x 19\" D x 32\" H\u003cbr\u003e\nSeat: 15\" Diam x 17\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - C-18684 - 010626\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece will need to ship via freight.
