Charles Dudouyt worked in the 1930s and 1940s producing furniture that drew from folk tradition and medieval craft, and this two-seat bench is a strong example of his signature vocabulary. The frame is built from solid turned wood, dark and richly patinated, with the bobbin-turned posts, ringed stretchers, and sturdy X-base that define his most recognizable work. The seat and back are woven in natural rope, slung low and generously sized, giving the piece a relaxed, almost sling-like quality that feels surprisingly modern. Substantial and sculptural, it works equally well as a functional bench or as a statement object in an entryway or living room.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-text\"\u003e42.5\" W x 25\" D x 35\" H (seat height 16\", seat depth 18.5\")\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003eMATERIAL\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-text\"\u003eTurned solid wood, woven rope seat and back\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003eORIGIN\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-text\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003eERA\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-text\"\u003e1940s\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-text\"\u003eDark patinated wood, natural rope weave\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003eNOTES\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-text\"\u003eGood vintage condition.
