Item Description
Early 20th-Century French Green Painted Wicker and Rattan Bench or Sofa
A charming early 20th-century French bench or sofa, constructed from woven wicker and bent rattan, retaining its original green painted finish. The tall, arched backrest features two distinctive heart shaped panels of finely woven wicker, framed by elegant scrolling and looped rattan decoration. The gently curved armrests continue the scrolling design, while the long, slightly curved woven seat provides comfortable seating. Originally intended for a winter garden, conservatory or veranda, this type of furniture was particularly fashionable during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The design is reminiscent of the work of the renowned French furniture makers Perret et Vibert, celebrated for their finely crafted wicker and rattan furniture, often incorporating elaborate woven patterns and decorative curved forms. The bench retains its attractive old green painted surface, showing natural wear and areas of distressed paintwork that reveal the woven fibres beneath. This aged finish gives the piece a pleasing character and reflects its history and originality. An unusual and decorative example of French wicker furniture, suitable for a conservatory, garden room or relaxed country house interior. Sofa seat height is 38cm.
