The ancient Greek klismos chair, with its curved back and legs that sweep outward like a sabre, appears on vases and carved reliefs from the fifth century BC. Regency and neoclassical cabinetmakers revived it around 1800, and the outward-curving back leg has been a sign of an elegant dining chair ever since.
These chairs are made of solid hardwood in Almond or Jet, with a broad, gently curved back rail that cups the shoulders and back legs that splay in that classic sabre line. The seats are padded with dense foam for comfort through a long meal and covered in a soft heathered weave in cream, a fabric with a gently flecked look. They are armless, so they slide right in under the table. Each chair is rated to hold 330 lbs, non-marking pins protect the floor, and some assembly is required.
Place them around a pale oak or white marble table in a light-filled dining room laid with a jug of wildflowers, or at the kitchen table for everyday breakfasts. One also makes a graceful side chair in a sitting room or a seat at a writing desk. Cream and Almond feel airy and Scandinavian, Cream and Jet more graphic, and both are lovely with a pleated pendant and soft grey linen. This listing is for a set of two chairs.
