19th Century English Mahogany Chippendale Style Bench
19th Century English Mahogany Chippendale Style Bench
A 19th-century English Chippendale-style mahogany bench that somehow feels as right now as it did two hundred years ago. The form is classic—cabriole legs with carved shells at the knees, wide pad feet grounding the piece with quiet assurance. But the twist is the upholstery: Scalamandré’s iconic Tigre cut silk velvet, that bold, tactile stripe beloved by decorators who know. The pairing of centuries-old craftsmanship with unapologetically glamorous fabric makes this bench a study in timelessness meeting trend—heritage reborn with attitude. Perfectly scaled for an entryway, the foot of a bed, or as an ottoman in the den of your country house, it’s both invitation and statement. The wood glows, the velvet shimmers, and the whole thing radiates that elusive quality design insiders chase: effortlessness. If you know, you know—and if you don’t, this bench might just teach you.
