Grange Furniture is a furniture shop in Monts du Lyonnais, France that was established by Joseph Grange in 1904. The company produces heirlooms using "old-world techniques" such as dove-tail jointing, hand applied wood stain and lacquer. Designs are subtle versions of those used in 17th Century chateux furniture by André-Charles Boulle and Jean-François Oeben, and other furniture from historic Provence, France homes. This is a true French made, quality piece!

Living Room: Two ivory/raspberry stripe wingback chairs are almost identical.

Did you know that this style of chair was developed in England in the 1600's where cold weather made the roaring fireplace the gathering spot of the house? The original style was created to keep women warm as they lounged in the wingback chairs to protect their upper chests from cold drafts. The design gained popularity in the early 1700's and eventually morphed from a wooden chair to one with upholstery. On the mantel are two red/gold urns with lids; attached to the wall [but easily removable] is a pair of brass/glass candle hurricanes.
