{"product_id":"louis-xvi-neoclassical-carved-bench-cane-ends-olive-damask","title":"Louis XVI Neoclassical Carved Bench with Cane Ends \u0026 Olive Damask Seat","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a particular kind of restraint in Louis XVI furniture that later periods never quite recaptured. Where the Rococo era loved the flourish, the court of Louis XVI looked to ancient Greece and Rome and found authority in the straight line, the fluted column, and the disciplined wreath. This bench faithfully reproduces that discipline — a long, generous seat flanked by elegantly scrolled cane-panel armrests, set on tapered and fluted legs with characteristic square block feet. The sage-green damask covering speaks to a room that has been thought through, not decorated on impulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is built from solid pine seasoned to below 10% humidity — a standard that prevents warping and ensures decades of dimensional stability. The antique-white painted finish is applied in layers and lightly distressed to suggest the patina of age without overstating it. The end panels are fitted with hand-woven natural cane, a hallmark of Louis XVI seating that lightens the visual weight of what would otherwise be a monolithic form. The seat cushion is upholstered in a sage-green and ivory damask with a classic floral medallion repeat, finished with a precisely piped edge that follows the serpentine curve of the seat rail. High-density foam beneath the fabric provides both support and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 150 cm \/ Depth: 60 cm \/ Height: 70 cm\u003cbr\u003eThe bench seats two comfortably at the foot of a king bed or as a standalone accent in a formal hallway. The 70 cm height aligns with standard bed frame heights, making it a functional and considered addition to any bedroom composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery bench in the Brass \u0026amp; Wood collection is handcrafted in Egypt by artisans trained in classical European joinery and upholstery traditions. The cane panels are individually woven, the piping is hand-stitched, and the carved frame details — the scroll terminals on the armrests, the reed-and-bead moulding on the seat rail — are worked by hand rather than routed by machine. This is the difference between a reproduction and a replica: the intention to honor the original, not merely to approximate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this bench made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe frame is solid pine with an antique-white painted and lightly distressed finish.
