{"product_id":"french-provencal-painted-ladder-back-bench-real-straw-seat","title":"French Provençal Painted Ladder-Back Bench with Real Straw Seat","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delightful French Provençal bench in the double-chair or banc form, painted in a soft blue-white and fitted with a hand-woven real straw seat — the quintessential seating form of the farmhouses and bastides of the south of France. The ladder-back features three scalloped horizontal rails with a shaped crest rail above, a design that has remained essentially unchanged in Provence for centuries because it is both beautiful and supremely practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real straw seat is intact, its warm honey tone a perfect foil to the painted frame. This is a piece that brings immediate Provençal warmth and authenticity to a kitchen, entry hall, or garden room — the kind of honest, well-made country furniture that is increasingly difficult to find in this condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th–20th Century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e French Provençal \/ Country\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Southern France (Provence)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Painted wood; hand-woven real straw seat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ladder-back with scalloped rails; double-chair bench form; turned legs; blue-white painted finish; real straw seat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45\" W × 21\" D × 41\" H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good condition; frame solid; straw seat intact\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drue Bohrer Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45107609698327,"sku":"DBA-021-C1","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/8049\/5895\/files\/french-provencal-painted-ladder-back-bench-with-real-straw-seat-5385013.jpg?v=1780469827","url":"https:\/\/www.druebohrerantiques.com\/products\/french-provencal-painted-ladder-back-bench-real-straw-seat","provider":"Drue Bohrer Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
