Description

A very decorative late 19th-century French Provincial painted bench with a handwoven rope seat, combining the charm and elegance of French country style with the warmth of natural materials for a timeless, rustic aesthetic. This three-seater bench features a gracefully curved solid wooden frame painted in black, reflecting the understated sophistication of French Provincial furniture. The handwoven rope seat provides a natural, breathable surface that pairs beautifully with the painted wood. Adding to its versatility, the bench comes with three shaped custom cushions that can be reupholstered in your choice of fabric to make a personal design statement. This versatile bench is perfect for a variety of settings—whether in an entryway, kitchen, or sunroom—to bring an elegant yet relaxed rural charm to your space. The deep, warm patina of the finish and the smooth, aged texture contribute to its unique character. The bench is in excellent, sturdy condition with minor, attractive wear consistent with age. Additionally, I have a near-identical bench available, offering the possibility to create a harmonious pair. The bench seat height is 44cm.
