Solid wood farm bench from the Aubrac region is a fine example of 19th-century French folk art furniture. It features a full backrest composed of horizontal planks, framed by shaped side supports forming enclosed armrests. The sides are slightly curved and cut in a subtle arched profile, extending into solid legs with a distinctive silhouette. The seat is made of thick planks, softened and worn by time, displaying a beautifully aged surface. The back and sides reveal a direct, honest construction with simple lines, characteristic of rural craftsmanship. The wood has developed a warm brown patina, with visible wear, cracks, minor losses, and irregularities fully consistent with age and long use, contributing to the piece’s authenticity. The structure remains sound and stable. Dimensions: Height: 83 cm Seat height: 34 cm Width: 124 cm Depth: 30 cm
