This French Directoire style banquette from the turn of the twentieth century features a scrolled seat back detailed with a carved central rosette flanked by palmettes within a classic diamond shape. The seat back is additionally detailed with carvings of scrolling acanthus leaves, palmettes, and beading. The caned seat rests on tapered fluted legs in the form of quivers of arrows. Rosettes adorn the die joints and scrolling leaves and flowers decorate the apron. The armrests are supported on striated plinths and are detailed with flowers and beading. A removable seat cover allows one to either protect the caned seat or reveal its woven geometric pattern. Painted in a pale green, this banquette would be an elegant addition to a covered or garden room. c. 1900.
