Francois Carre Sunburst Settee & Lounge Chair

This rare pairing of a "Sunburst" Settee and Lounge Chair by Francois Carré will add a burst of light to any space. Originally patented in 1866 and produced in the 1930s, the seating features sculptural iron frames supporting painted "spring steel" panels in a fine gauge that allow gentle give and flexibility for comfort when seated. The design is iconic for its striking sunburst pattern, lending a decorative, French Art Deco flair to the classic garden furniture form. Initially designed for use in Parisian public spaces like parks and boulevards, this durable style of seating was considered revolutionary for its time, becoming highly sought after for grand estates and villas. This pair is newly restored in a white powder coat to be enjoyed for years to come.

Offered as a two piece set comprised of one chair and one settee.
