Foxington Painted Ladderback Dining Chair (PAIR)

Ladderback chairs have been at kitchen and dining room tables for centuries because they work — supportive, sturdy, and good-looking without demanding to be noticed. This pair in the Foxington Painted finish brings the horizontal-rail back design into the off-white and oak palette of the collection, and they look entirely at home with the extending dining tables in the same range.

The painted frame has a warm, slightly country feel that suits both formal dining rooms and relaxed kitchen-diners. Sold in pairs, they are priced to mix and match — a common approach is to use them at the ends of a longer table with different chairs along the sides, which creates a gathered, considered look that is more interesting than a uniform set.

Solidly built and properly finished, these are chairs that are expected to be sat in, moved around, and used daily.
