French Turned Wood + Woven Rush Bench, 1950s

$3,000.00

A French bench from the 1950s with a detailed mix of turned wood and woven rush. The dark wood frame is built from a series of substantial turned legs and stretchers, their rounded forms giving the piece much of its character.

The seat is tightly woven in warm golden rush, with the weave changing direction as it moves across the surface. At each corner, the rush pulls back to reveal the wood frame beneath, a small construction detail that becomes especially interesting when viewed from above. The contrast between the dark wood and lighter natural fiber makes the craftsmanship of both materials easy to appreciate.

At just under three feet wide, it’s a versatile size for the end of a bed, tucked beneath a console, or pulled into a room when additional seating is needed.

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1950s

MATERIALS: Wood,Rush

CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition. Wood frame shows age-appropriate patina throughout. Woven rush seat remains in excellent condition with minor variations inherent to the natural material.
