French Beautifully-Carved Wood Lyre-Back Splat Bench w/Rush Seat , 19th Century

About the Item

A French Neoclassic carved-wood sofa bench with rushed seat from the 19th century. This antique bench from France has been beautifully carved with Neoclassical details, featuring a gracefully curved top rail which gives way to an open back with three widely-spaced back rests; all carved in a lyre motif. The top rail gently wraps to the sides, creating a tub-style effect. Hand-woven rushed seats give this piece a more casual comfort appeal. The wood skirt is a neat, straight line, and is raised upon four slender and curvy legs with subtle saber feet at rear. This Neoclassical French lyre-carved sofa bench would be a welcoming addition to an entry foyer or wide entry hall, or perhaps a lovely addition to a study or living room.
