Garden bench from the Napoleon III era – Openwork cast iron & oak

Garden bench from the Napoléon III era, with a cast iron structure featuring openwork decoration: scrolls, leafy scrolls, neo-Gothic rosettes, floral motifs, and heraldic shields. The legs and armrests are fully crafted in cast iron according to the ornamental repertoire of the Second Empire. The seat and backrest consist of solid oak slats—five for the seat, four for the backrest—showing a naturally grayed patina acquired from prolonged outdoor exposure. The cast iron retains its original oxidation, with the presence of moss and lichens. The patina has not received any intervention; it is entirely original. Perfect stability noted. Cleaning to be done according to desired use.
