The Grand-Père Marcel armchair in rattan, here in its high-back version, is THE iconic model of French rattan. Very popular in our countryside in the early 1900s, it was sold at the time by peddlers who went from village to village. Light, robust, and inexpensive, it was sometimes the only element of comfort in modest homes: to knit, smoke, listen to the radio, read by the fire, or chat under the apple tree... Comfortable, simple and robust, it is still fashionable today. It can be used as an occasional chair, but its seat height also allows it to be used around a dining table.
The Marcel high-back woven rattan armchair is suitable for private and professional use (hotels, cafés, restaurants...).
Made in Indonesia. Available in natural rattan with bark, or with traditional patina (see the choices above). The patinated finish, carried out to order in our workshops, takes up to 10 extra days to complete. A seat cushion is available as an option. Customer fabric available for this product.
