This light rattan bench, found at a flea market, adds a soft countryside touch. Its generous seat comfortably accommodates two people, while its seat height makes it pleasant in a veranda, a bedroom, or a tidy entryway. The rattan gives it a natural look, easy to pair with antique linens, a wooden coffee table, or some textured cushions. It fits well at the end of a table or as an extra in a living room, perfect for creating a reading nook or holding a jacket. As a second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its past: a few signs of wear. Width: 118 cm Depth: 63 cm Height: 79 cm Seat height: 40 cm Seat width: 100 cm Seat depth: 53 cm A little history of the bench: Appearing in the 17th century, the bench is the elegant and upholstered version of the bank, designed for the salons of High Society. Unlike the sofa, it is distinguished by the absence of a backrest or arms, favoring an airy silhouette and a Louis XVI or Empire style. Whether called a "piano bench" or "end of bed bench," it fits today into a boudoir or vintage aesthetic and remains the perfect piece to dress a window or an entryway.
