Pair of Francoise Carre Sunburst Chairs



Continuing our Hollywood theme today, if you have seen Cassablanca or the documentary on Grey Gardens, these iconic chairs might look familiar.  They were featured prominently at Rick's Cafe Americain and were also part of the original furnishings of the Hampton's Grey Gardens House.  They were designed by Francoise Carre in Paris during the late 19th century and produced at least into the 1940's.  This pair is in great vintage condition and surprisingly comfortable.  c. 1930's  SOLD
