Product description
This rustic three-seater bench dates from the 19th century and is either Haute-Savoie, Breton or Auvergnat. The patina on the monoxylite wood speaks to the great history of this 19th-century piece. The seat can be opened to reveal a storage compartment. With its remarkable patina, the design reminds us of the wabi-sabi philosophy which centres around the appreciation of the beauty of natural imperfection. The idea involves the understanding that everything ages with grace, and becomes more beautiful as it breaks, fades, or scars. It is the understanding that old and worn-out things have their own elegant charm. This carved French bench will bring a touch of authenticity to any interior.
