Louis XV–Style Walnut Bench with Upholstered Seat and Carved Frame, France

An elegant Louis XV–style bench crafted in walnut, distinguished by its finely carved seat rail and graceful proportions. The sculpted apron features flowing rocaille motifs centered by a carved shell, reflecting the decorative vocabulary of the Louis XV tradition. The four cabriole legs terminate in volutes and are joined by a shaped stretcher, providing both structural stability and visual continuity.

The seat is newly upholstered in a high-quality Aquaclean fabric by the manufacturer Casal, offering durability while maintaining a refined, neutral appearance suitable for a variety of interiors. The upholstery work is in very good condition and is finished with a line of decorative gilt nails that subtly accent the carved wood frame. The walnut displays a warm, even patina that highlights the depth of the carving.

Versatile in use, this bench is well suited for placement at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or as occasional seating in a living space. A refined and functional example of Louis XV–inspired craftsmanship.
