Vintage wicker storage bench with openwork backrest from the 1950s.

Charming vintage wicker storage bench in natural woven rattan, with a compact size and very attractive proportions. It stands out with its slightly curved openwork backrest, crafted in a crisscross pattern, as well as the richness of its weaving. The different weaves of rattan, the dressed uprights, and the finishes around the structure give it much more character than a classic wicker chest. The rattan has a beautiful warm honey patina, with the nuances and small irregularities typical of an antique piece. Its lid conceals a generous storage space given its small footprint: ideal for toys in a child's room, linen, throws, cushions, or a few accessories in an entrance or dressing room. With a seat height of 36 cm, it can also be used as a small occasional bench. A very lovely piece in a chic country house, a retro child's room, a seaside home, a dressing room, or an entrance of an old house. Dimensions: L 64 × D 37 × H 50 cm Seat height: 36 cm Internal dimensions: L 55 × D 31 × H 31 cm Material: natural rattan Colour: honey / warm brown Condition: good vintage condition. Patina, small marks, and irregularities related to age and craftsmanship, visible in the photographs. A charming antique piece, both decorative and functional, and space-saving.
