About the Item

This Maison Jansen style French Directoire crème painted X-bench, circa 1960, is a stunning example of neoclassical revival design that combines elegance with functional charm. Beautifully crafted, this bench features the signature X-form base, a hallmark of Directoire style, enriched with finely carved floral and foliate motifs along the supports. At the center, a rosette medallion unites the crossed legs, adding a refined decorative touch that highlights the artistry of the piece. The frame is finished in a soft crème paint with subtle distressing, which enhances its vintage character and timeless appeal. The seat is upholstered in a tasteful striped fabric in muted tones, complementing the painted frame while providing comfort and sophistication. Perfectly proportioned, this bench works beautifully as an accent piece at the foot of a bed, in a dressing room, or as additional seating in a living area. Maison Jansen, the famed Parisian design firm, was celebrated for its ability to reinterpret classical French forms with modern sensibilities, and this bench embodies that legacy. Elegant yet versatile, it seamlessly blends into traditional, transitional, or French country interiors, making it a sought-after addition for collectors and interior designers alike.
