Crafted in Southern France circa 1850, the tall fruitwood bench stands on hand-carved barley twist legs joined by a matching stretcher for added stability.

The upper frieze bears the carved inscription “A 1603 D,” referencing the period style that inspired the design. The wide seat is upholstered in striped salmon and gold fabric, secured with decorative brass nail-head trim, and framed by elegant scrolling armrests carved with acanthus leaf motifs. The bench is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, showcasing a warm walnut patina and finely detailed craftsmanship throughout.
