Antique Italian Woven Wicker and Bamboo Two-Seater Bench (Early 20th Century)
Quality & Authenticity Note
Details
A delightful piece of Italian vintage Riviera charm, perfect for adding texture, warmth, and airy elegance to any space. This charming two-seater bench (or settee), dating back to the first half of the 20th century, features a sturdy bent bamboo frame and intricate wicker and natural rattan weaving. Sharing the exact same geometric pattern and subtle red and dark blue dyed accents as our Dal Vera armchair, it is highly likely from the same prestigious Milanese manufacturer. The continuously curved backrest and open arms give it a light, organic silhouette. It is a highly versatile and decorative piece, perfect for a sunroom, placed at the foot of a bed, in a welcoming hallway, or as an eclectic accent in a living room.
