Hand sourced in France, there’s something effortlessly chic about these Italian rush-bottom chairs — a clean, sculptural silhouette paired with natural texture and worn black paint.
Stemming from France, and dating to the mid 20th century, the set nods clearly to the work of Gio Ponti and his peers, bringing a sophisticated, mid-century edge to a time-honored form.
Gio Ponti was a celebrated Italian designer known for his refined, modern sensibility and influential furniture creations. Active primarily in the mid-20th century, his work is often associated with clean lines, sculptural forms, and a blend of traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques. His furniture designs, particularly chairs, remain iconic today for their elegance, simplicity, and architectural clarity.
The carved ladder-back design of this set is both elegant and functional, while the warm rush seats offer comfort and visual contrast. The black finish has worn beautifully over time, with subtle distressing that highlights the crisp lines and craftsmanship.
Sturdy yet lightweight, these chairs bring just the right amount of character and form to a dining space, breakfast nook, or even styled singly in a corner.
Sold as a set of four, they’re a beautiful choice for anyone who loves European design, especially when it veers into the modern. Think Italian villa meets collected, layered interiors — warm, grounded, and full of style.

CONDITION
CONDITION
Good condition - wear to the finish and rush bottom, as photographed. A few rubber “feet” on the bottom are missing. I would personally remove them all as I believe they are not original to the chairs, detract from the streamlined appearance, and add no structural support to the chairs.
As with all antique and vintage items, please note the presence of nicks, scratches, cracks, denting, and similar wear commensurate with age and use, as photographed.
