Crafted in France circa 1890 in the neoclassical Louis XVI style, each bench features a refined rectangular silhouette set on four elegant tapered and fluted legs, and accented with hand-carved floral rosette medallions at the corners. The apron is finely decorated with a continuous motif of carved geometric ovals, punctuated at the center with a floral medallion on all four sides, a subtle yet sophisticated detail that speaks to the craftsmanship of the period. Reupholstered in a soft beige fabric with a delicate weave, the seats offer a clean, neutral palette that complements a wide range of interior styles, from classic French to more modern or transitional décor. The wooden frames retain an aged painted finish in a soft, muted grey, gently distressed to reveal a layered antique patina that enhances their authentic, timeworn appeal.
In excellent condition commensurate with age and use, this versatile pair can be styled beneath a window, placed at the foot of a bed, or used as additional seating in a formal living room or entryway. Elegant yet understated, they bring refined charm and antique character to any space.
