Structurally sound throughout, with a warm surface patina consistent with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brettstuhl is among the oldest chair forms in Europe: a plank seat, turned legs driven straight into it, and a single shaped board rising from the back. Alpine carpenters built them for centuries through the valleys of Tyrol, cutting a grip into the crest so a chair could be lifted in one hand and carried to wherever it was wanted. Every line of it came from use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair carries that silhouette into the twentieth century, when renewed interest in Alpine folk work brought the form back into workshops. The backs are shaped and pierced in the old way, the legs turned and fluted, the seats laid as planks across a sledge base.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sojourn Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49536318767319,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/1344\/2263\/files\/IMG_1844.jpg?v=1785884600","url":"https:\/\/www.sojournvintage.com\/products\/pair-of-tyrolean-brettstuhl-chairs-alpine-form-mid-20th-century","provider":"Sojourn Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
