19th-Century Louis XVI Painted & Caned Bergere Bench

This bergere bench works in the restrained Louis XVI idiom, softened by fine cane panelling. The original soft blue paint, with its accumulated patina, is a significant point in the piece's favour -- original period paint of this quality is increasingly rare.

Comes with a fitted upholstered squab cushion.
