Os De Mouton Settee Bench

Over seven feet of bench, on legs named for a cut of mutton.

This os de mouton settee bench is walnut with a Belgian linen seat. The name means mutton bone, and refers to a curving leg and stretcher profile that furniture makers have used for centuries, on seating meant for halls, galleries and the foot of a long bed. Here the walnut legs swoop down and back, tied together by two wavering stretchers that run the full length of the frame. A long, plain, pale seat sits on top. Eighty-seven and a half inches long and eighteen and a half high.

Mutton has rarely looked so elegant.
