A rare and striking late-19th-century Alpine carved oak parlour suite, comprising four chairs, two stools and a matching table. This complete seven-piece set is a superb example of traditional chalet furniture from the French–Swiss Alpine region, where small artisan workshops produced sculptural folk-art pieces for mountain lodges and summer houses.
 
Each seat and the table top are carved in radiating petal segments, giving the suite its distinctive botanical form — rustic, tactile and highly decorative. The tripod bases and waisted chair backs reflect the classic silhouette of Alpine chalet furniture, valued today for its warmth, charm and handcrafted individuality. The oak throughout has developed a rich, natural patina that enhances the sculptural carving.
 
Complete, matched sets of this type — especially those retaining the original stools — are exceptionally scarce. The unified carving, cohesive form and strong visual presence make this a standout decorative ensemble with real interior-design appeal. Ideal for kitchens, garden rooms, chalets, cabins or any setting seeking a touch of Alpine character and authenticity.
