Set of 6 Vintage French Bistro Chairs – Beech Wood, 1950s

This set of six vintage bistro chairs dates from the 1950s and originates from France.

Made of beech wood, the chairs feature gently curved backrests with three vertical wooden slats, shaped wooden seats and slender legs connected by stretchers.

With their compact proportions, the chairs are suitable for use around a dining table, in a kitchen or in a café or restaurant setting.

The chairs are sold as a complete set of six. The listed price is for all six chairs.
