About the Item

This handsome 19th century French faux bois garden bench, circa 1890s, beautifully captures the artistry and charm of nature inspired design. Crafted to mimic the organic appearance of tree branches, the scroll form base is cast in iron and features a wonderful rusted patina that adds character and depth, enhancing its antique appeal. The slatted bleached wood back and seat provide a warm, weathered contrast to the intricately detailed cast iron frame, resulting in a piece that is as sturdy as it is visually striking. The bench showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the late 19th century, when artisans transformed utilitarian pieces into works of art. The rusted patina on the iron lends a sense of history, while the faux bois design effortlessly blends natural inspiration with timeless French elegance. Perfect for a garden, patio, or sunroom, this bench brings rustic charm and sophistication to any indoor or outdoor setting. A rare find for collectors of antique garden furniture, this faux bois bench is as functional as it is decorative, making it a statement piece that will endure for generations.
