Village life in Ansouis turns on the square and the doorstep: a neighbour stopping by with news, children back from school, a basket of apricots handed over the wall. This backless settee is made for those comings and goings. Its long rush seat makes room for two to sit side by side and talk, and with no back it can stand against a wall or out in the room, ready for whoever drops in.
The frame is sustainably grown hardwood in a soft off-white painted finish, and the rush is woven by hand. Under the seat a shaped apron, the frame along the seat edge, has a gentle curve, the cabriole legs swing out at the knee and in at the foot, and stretchers, rails between the legs, keep it steady. At 28 lbs it is light to move, and it is rated to hold 500 lbs.
Place it in an entry as a seat for pulling on shoes, with a basket of scarves alongside, or along one side of a farmhouse table in place of two chairs. In a bedroom it makes a handy perch for laying out the next day's clothes. This listing is for one backless settee.
