About the Item
Monumental French Faux Bois Cast Stone Bench Tree Trunk Supports, circa 1920s
An exceptional and monumental early 20th-century French faux bois garden bench, sculpted in cast stone using the traditional ciment artificiel technique and executed as a rare single-piece construction. The bench is masterfully modeled to simulate natural tree trunks and branches, with deeply textured bark surfaces, organic branch junctions, and asymmetrical growth forms characteristic of the finest French faux bois ateliers of the Belle Époque and early Art Deco period.
The continuous back rail, seat, and supports are formed as one unified sculptural element rather than assembled from separate components, reflecting a high level of technical ambition and workshop skill rarely encountered in large-scale garden seating of this type.
The surface retains a richly weathered patina with areas of mineral bloom, lichen, and age wear, imparting exceptional authenticity and garden character. The bench presents in structurally sound condition, with minor edge losses, surface wear, and natural erosion consistent with age and outdoor exposure, all of which contribute to its historic charm. Clean and stable, it is ready to place in both interior architectural settings or exterior garden and terrace installations.
Impressive in scale and sculptural presence, this bench exemplifies the French faux bois tradition developed for estate gardens, parks, and conservatories in the early 20th century.
France, circa 1915–1930.
