Antiques : Furniture : Bench Stool : Table

 

C.1865-75 French hand carved Louis XV walnut bench or table has the original caning completely in tact and taut with exception to one hole missing yet held securely in place and cane tied as if this hole was missed when caned. Threaded ribbon carving surrounds the thick apron with floral block carving above and below each grooved leg. A carved walnut rosette joins the two arched support bars. As no man made piece is perfect,the top band surrounding the cane is slightly wider on one side by 1/8-1/4 inch where the wood meets in seam as seen in photo,joined tightly etc. Beautiful patina to the hand rubbed finish. Expert workmanship. Makes a wonderful occasional sidetable and with a tray or stack of books allows a level solid surface. Measures 19.25L X 14W X 20H.
