Arras furniture originated in the northern French city of Arras during the 19th century, where factories produced distinctive cast and strap iron pieces specifically for municipal parks, gardens, and cafes.

These pieces typically feature a combination of cast iron for decorative feet and structural joints, and wrought iron or sheet metal for the legs and tabletops, often joined with rivets and bolts rather than modern welding.

Authentic pieces often display makers plaques, cast registration numbers, heavy patination, hand-forged rivet construction, and characteristic curved legs terminating in claw or scroll feet.

Pairing this item with contrasting tactile textures, such as soft wool throws or contemporary seating, creates a balanced scheme that highlights its historical industrial character.

Maintain the surface by applying microcrystalline wax to stabilise existing oxidisation, and store the piece in a dry environment during harsh winter months to prevent further corrosion.
