Rare Form French Faux Bois Bench
What a stunner! This rare form faux bois bench was hand-made in the 1940s and is in wonderful, restored condition. Its gently curved back with branch decoration is very comfortable and there are wonderful little details like the “latches” on the outside railing near the seat. It has undergone some restoration and has been inside for many years (hence the very light patina), but it will serve you well in the garden if installed on stone or gravel to prevent water-wicking through the feet. It should be covered or brought inside in harsh winter climates, but is quite sturdy and will give you decades of pleasure at the end of an allée or anywhere you would view your garden in all its glory.
