Vintage entrance bench with a storage chest 110cm

Entrance or hallway bench with an integrated storage chest. The structure is made of solid wood, while the seat and backrest are covered with woven straw. The seat is mounted on hinges, allowing it to be lifted to access a shallow storage chest, ideal for storing shoes, gloves, or bags. It is a typical piece of French country or rustic style furniture. This type of item was very popular in the mid-20th century for its decorative and utilitarian aspects. The straw has worn over time, but the seat remains solid and usable as is.
