Very rare Directoire period fruitwood radassier with spindles. Origin: Provence.
Superb 3-seater radassier with 8 saber legs connected by turned and ringed wooden bars.
The front is curved.
The armrests end with a turned spindle.
The backrest is reversed with a wide band serving as an armrest decorated with 7 interposed spindles.
This bench is very rare on the market because it required great cabinetmaking skill.
Sturdy seat in good condition.
Some restorations.
It could once have been used as an extra bed for a guest or a servant.
The radassier is covered with a floral jacquard fabric in very good condition and has a large, very thick wool cushion.
