Chair - Peacock style with a heart-sculpted backrest - Shabby Chic style

Adds a Touch of Poetry and Refinement to Your Relaxation Corner! Let yourself be captivated by the romantic elegance of this extraordinary vintage dressing chair dating from the 1970s. Entirely handmade with intricate craftsmanship in the weaving of rattan and wicker, this seat is a true vintage artisanal jewel that recalls the poetic lines of the Art Nouveau style and the iconic charm of the famous Peacock chairs. The real distinguishing feature is the heart-shaped pierced backrest, rich in decorative scrolls, tendrils, and woven volute details that create a striking play of solid and void. The white finish brings brightness and freshness, making it perfect to complete a vanity corner in a bedroom, a chic bathroom, or an elegant living room in Shabby Chic or Modern Boho style. To complete the piece, the chair comes with its removable circular cushion, embellished with refined lace worked in the center and finished with a delicate crocheted edge. Why shouldn’t you let it slip away? - Unmatchable Craftsmanship: Each twist and weave in the wicker has been hand-shaped, offering a solidity and attention to detail that is increasingly rare in mass production. - Theatrical Versatility: In addition to being a comfortable vanity seat, it works beautifully as an accent piece or atmospheric photographic prop. Between the 1960s and 1980s, Italian and French artisan workshops rediscovered the weaving of rattan and reed, turning these natural materials into luxury furniture icons. The skill of the master weavers lay in heat-bending the plant fibers to create complex volutes without snapping the fiber. The elaborately carved backrest with volutes directly draws inspiration from the legendary Peacock chairs born in the 19th century in Southeast Asia, which became a must-have of international interior design in the 1970s. This model condenses those scenographic proportions into a slimmer, more elegant form, specially designed for vanities and feminine boudoirs. Dimensions: approximately 100x53x41 cm Vintage condition as shown in the photos; see the images in the photo gallery as they are part of the description. Some parts are missing, being vintage and used.
