About the Item

This French midcentury bench features a graceful silhouette in hand-forged gilt iron with classical scrollwork and paw-form feet. The elegant X-Form legs curve inward with sculptural refinement, terminating in cast paw feet that echo neoclassical motifs while grounding the bench with visual weight. A double stretcher connects the base, reinforcing both structure and symmetry. The iron frame retains a warm gilt finish with subtle age patina, offering a pleasing contrast to the clean-lined, natural-toned upholstered seat. The cushion has been newly recovered in a neutral linen or linen-blend fabric, allowing it to integrate easily with a range of interior palettes—from refined Parisian apartments to transitional or traditional spaces. Versatile in function and compact in scale, this bench can be used at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or as occasional seating beside a console. Its sculptural base and timeless profile reflect the enduring elegance of midcentury French design rooted in classical precedent.
