The back frame, the crosspiece and the armrests with cuffs ending in scrolls are finely highlighted by a ribbon frieze, adding a touch of elegance and refinement.
The uprights decorated with acanthus leaves bear witness to the neoclassical influence, characteristic of this period, where symmetry and simplicity were favored.
The bench is upholstered in a cream fabric, providing a subtle contrast with the stained wood and highlighting the sculpted details.
The whole rests on four fluted legs, turned into a constricted spindle, typical of the Louis XVI style.
These feet, both robust and delicate, ensure perfect stability while adding a touch of sophistication to the whole.
This bench is not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a work of art, reflecting the know-how and aesthetics of the Louis XVI era.
It would be a centerpiece in any interior seeking to capture the elegance and charm of the early 19th century.
