French Wood Bench

Petite settee in rose-pink, trimmed with gilded curves and little else.

This wooden bench from France is from France, and dates to the 20th century. It is wood. In French country furniture the wooden bench is a familiar piece for halls, kitchens and entryways, valued for plain construction and sturdy joinery.

The frame is gold-painted, with beaded edging, small finials and slender fluted legs, and the finish shows light rubbing. It is 44 inches long, 22 deep and 23 high.

Made for conversations that need to stay close.
