About the Item

This exquisite Italian antique bench, crafted in the late 18th century during the Louis XVI era, embodies the elegance and simplicity characteristic of this historical period. Its design features linear legs complemented by wavy outer arms, joined with an attractive pattern that enhances its refined aesthetic. The bench features delicate floral wood carvings that, interestingly, are only present on one side, suggesting that it was intended to be placed against a wall.

The wooden frame has also undergone conservative restoration, maintaining its antique charm without compromising its original character. For added comfort, a custom cushion can be made to complement the straw seat, making this bench not only an elegant piece of furniture, but also a cozy seating option. Versatile in its placement, this bench would enhance any room in your home, be it an entryway, hallway, living room or bedroom.
