[QUOTE="Hallingdalen, post: 10497791, member: 93477"]Thanks for the link – it's definitely in the same family! I can see why you made the connection. The shape and studwork are very similar. But after comparing closely, I notice a few differences and would love your take: [LIST] [*][B]Backrest shape[/B]: Mine have a scalloped “moustache” top with more of a relaxed, low-slung profile, while the Chez Pluie chair is taller and straighter. [*][B]Seat construction[/B]: Mine have a loose cushion over a deep, padded seat base – the Chez Pluie model looks fixed and more compact. [*][B]Side profile[/B]: The arms on mine sweep in a more exaggerated curve down to the front leg, whereas theirs looks a bit more rigid or upright. [/LIST] I'm wondering if these might reflect a regional variation, a different maker, or just different production years within the same French tradition?[/QUOTE]
