Teak Wood Settee from Madura with Folding Back, Looping Arms and Cane Seat
About the Item
A great example of early 20th-century Indonesian craftsmanship, this teak wood settee blends simplicity of form with subtle decorative detail. Discovered in Madura, the piece showcases a beautifully aged patina and a well-proportioned frame that reflects both practicality and grace. The rectangular backrest is adorned with carved reeded panels and features a clever folding mechanism, designed to rest against the caned seat when not in use—a thoughtful detail that hints at the settee’s functional versatility.
The frame is constructed from solid teak, a wood prized for its strength and durability, and displays elegantly looping arms that transition seamlessly into the front legs. These sweeping curves are enhanced by delicate spandrels that add visual interest without distracting from the overall purity of the form. The double caned seat remains true to the original design, offering a light, breathable surface with an authentic handcrafted character.
This two-seater bench is perfect for those who appreciate understated design and the honest beauty of natural materials. Whether placed in a sunlit mudroom, at the foot of a bed, or tucked beneath a window in a quiet living room corner, this settee brings warmth and architectural softness to any setting. Its modest profile, combined with the richness of its teak construction, makes it a versatile addition to traditional, rustic, or globally inspired interiors. A timeless accent with quiet charm, this antique Indonesian settee invites both use and admiration.
