Carved Bench in Solid Wood with Storing Space, France, 19th Century

About the Item

Transport yourself to the 19th century with this exquisite rustic three-seater bench, hailing from either Haute-Savoie, Breton, or Auvergnat regions. The rich patina adorning the monoxylite wood is a testament to the storied history of this 19th-century gem. What sets this piece apart is its secret storage compartment cleverly concealed beneath the seat. The design of this bench evokes the profound wabi-sabi philosophy, celebrating the innate beauty found in natural imperfections. It invites you to embrace the notion that grace only deepens with age, where the passage of time enhances the allure of every break, fade, and scar.
