This splendid rattan lounge set, by Maison A. Boucicaut for Le Bon Marché, embodies with refinement the elegance of furniture from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Composed of two armchairs, two chairs, a sofa and a table, it seduces with its airy lines, its delicate weaving and its warm patina. The canework, typical of the period, brings a visual lightness and a comfortable seat, while the rattan structure, supple and resistant, testifies to remarkable craftsmanship.

It would require a good cleaning and waxing of the whole, restoration of a seat for an armchair, table top and slight repairs of 2/3 legs.

Ideal for a winter garden, a veranda or a terrace, this lounge evokes the atmosphere of elegant bourgeois residences and Parisian cafés from the beginning of the last century. Each piece, designed with meticulous attention to detail, reflects the era's taste for natural materials and exotic inspirations. The rise of rattan furniture during the Belle Époque At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, rattan experienced a veritable golden age in Europe. Imported from Southeast Asia, this supple and robust material was attractive for its lightness and resistance to climatic variations. Its success was driven in particular by the vogue for winter gardens and refined outdoor furniture. During this period marked by the 1900 World's Fair and the attraction to Art Nouveau, rattan creations proliferated. Specialist houses such as Perret et Vibert and La Maison des Bambous in Paris offered pieces combining exoticism and elegance, prized by high society. Le Bon Marché, a precursor to modern department stores, was part of this dynamic by offering its customers furniture that was both functional and aesthetic, inspired by trends from the Orient. Today, these vintage rattan lounges are sought after for their timeless charm and the quality of their manufacture, witnesses to an art of living marked by refinement and naturalness.
