Charming French Fruitwood & Rush Country Bench, circa 1880
A charming French country bench, circa 1880, with wonderfully generous proportions and a beautiful warm, mellow colour.
The shaped back is particularly lovely, with three broad wavy splats between slender uprights. Curved arms sweep gently outwards, supported by finely turned spindles, while the simple legs and long stretchers give the whole piece a light, elegant feel.
The deep hand-woven rush seat is beautifully made and wonderfully generous at 58cm deep. The pale rush against the warm fruitwood is a particularly attractive combination.
A lovely example of French country craftsmanship — simple, practical and beautifully proportioned, with the natural wear and patina that comes with age.
Excellent condition throughout.
Dimensions: L90cm × H82cm Seat H41cm × D58cm Arm H63cm
