About the Item

Decorate a garden or backyard with this exquisite antique garden bench featuring its original patinated painted finish. Crafted in Normandy, France circa 1870, the piece showcases elegant design and sturdy construction in hand-forged wrought iron. The gently curved silhouette is composed of dozens of closely spaced iron straps, artfully shaped to form a contoured seat and backrest that offer both visual lightness and comfortable support. The bench rests on four cabriole legs adorned with pierced scrollwork supports, adding decorative flair and structural integrity. Its surface retains a richly weathered patina with layered traces of green and red paint, naturally distressed by time and exposure to the elements, resulting in a beautifully mottled finish full of historic character. In excellent condition commensurate with age and outdoor use, this antique bench is ideal for garden paths, terraces, porches, or even as a dramatic accent in a rustic or industrial-style interior. Both sculptural and functional, it embodies enduring French charm and timeless design. 68"W x 31"D x 32.5"H
