Hard To Find

Hard to find. Even harder to leave behind. This antique rush bench was found in Lyon, originally from a farmhouse in northern France. Its generous length and sturdy frame make it a rare one, especially with rushwork this intact. The handwoven seat has held up beautifully, and the wavy ladder-back design adds intrigue to any room. It’s a bench built for real use, with the kind of character that only comes from age.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

    There is a crack in the back support, but the piece remains fully usable and sit-able. This antique carries its history beautifully. As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it.
