Black forest-style Alsatian chair. In solid oak, so very heavy. The backrest is carved and openwork with oak leaves and acorns. This chair is quite rare. Resting on 4 twisted compass feet. Seat carved and upholstered with a tapestry known as small stitch tapestry. Hand studded with real bronze nails. Secure shipping with tracking number. ----------------------------------------------------------- The so-called Alsatian chair is essentially characterised by its divergent legs and decorated backrest, and therefore stands out at first sight from chairs made in other French regions, whose legs are vertical and whose backs are little decorated. This type of furniture was common from the 17th to the end of the 19th century in Europe and in the German-speaking area of this continent.
