Vintage 1920s French Wicker & Bamboo Steamer Recliner Chair with Footrest
This early 20th-century French steamer chair combines wicker and bamboo in a beautifully woven chevron design. Originally designed for long voyages aboard steamships and later prized in European conservatories and garden rooms, steamer chairs became symbols of comfort, leisure, and quiet luxury.
Crafted with a sturdy bamboo frame and hand-woven wicker seat and back, this piece features an adjustable reclining backrest with its original metal brackets and a fold-out footrest that tucks neatly away when not in use. The warm honeyed tones and natural patina give it timeless appeal.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition — the bamboo is strong, the wicker intact, with only gentle signs of age that enhance its character.
Dimensions
H 100 × W 73 × D 103 cm (with backrest upright, footrest extended)
Styling Inspiration
This chair fits effortlessly into 21st-century interiors. Place it by a window for morning light and coffee, in a garden room layered with textiles, or in a modern apartment where its texture softens clean lines. In a coastal setting, it recalls its maritime past — the perfect chair for long evenings with a blanket and a glass of wine.
