19th
century French Hall Bench Settle Renaissance Carved Oak Breton Brittany
Direct from France, a massive antique French hall bench, large enough
for any home or castle! The 6.5 ft. back
features an upper panel of mythic creatures above three highly carved figural
panels having carved cupids, creatures, profile medallions with foliate
accents.
Beneath these are three more panels having carved Breton/Brittany
profile medallions of men/ladies in period dress. There are three more of these carved
character medallions on the lower chest front, for a total of six different
characters…if only we knew their stories!!
Large sweeping carved arms frame the paneled seat bench that lifts to
reveal large storage space inside. Solid, heavy, and strong, well
built by craftsmen of the period, circa1890.
