its dark solid wood frame—oak or stained walnut—rests on six straight legs connected by double reinforcing bars. A delightful detail: each leg is topped with a small, turned, hexagonal cap, a mark of the care taken by the provincial craftsman.

the seat, divided into two sections by a central support, is upholstered in woven rush in a beautiful natural caramel color, in excellent condition. The gently curved sides add a touch of softness characteristic of traditional country furniture.

the warm patina of the wood reveals light wear, consistent with the age of the piece—an authenticity that no reproduction could ever replicate.

perfect at the entrance of a country house, at the foot of a bed, or in a hallway, this bench will bring a touch of history and warmth to your home.
