Artisan-crafted from solid beechwood, the piece features an elegant neoclassical frame newly finished in luminous gold leaf and a striking black-and-white velvet seat.
The carved frame displays traditional Louis XVI details, including fluted tapered legs, rosette corner blocks and clean architectural proportions. The recently applied gold-leaf finish highlights the carving and gives the bench a warm, refined appearance.
The upholstery provides a contemporary contrast to the classical frame. Black-and-white striped velvet has been arranged in a decorative fan-pleated pattern, radiating from a central upholstered button. This tailored detail adds movement and makes the bench especially attractive as a statement accent.
Its compact proportions make it versatile enough for use as a vanity stool, dressing-room seat, bedroom bench, ottoman or accent piece in an entrance hall or living room.
