This piece embodies the key characteristics of the Parisian Art Deco style: a subtly curved, curved backrest, an ornamental apron sculpted with finely chiseled floral motifs, and beautifully proportioned tapered legs. The solid wood frame (likely walnut or mahogany) is in perfect structural condition, attesting to the sturdiness of its original construction.

The dimensions are generous: a total height of 94 cm, a depth of 63 cm, with a comfortable seat height of 45 cm. The original copper nailhead trim adds a touch of timeless refinement. Weighing 40 kg, it attests to the quality of the materials used. This bench combines functionality and elegance, making it ideal for a living room or entryway.

The current fabric, while of good quality, would benefit from being replaced to suit your decorating preferences. The structural frame requires no intervention. This piece represents a beautiful find for lovers of Parisian design from the Roaring Twenties and constitutes a quality furniture investment. See less
