Oak Church Bench

France, 19th Century

$1,395

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Rare

This was love at first sight for Sylvie. This oak church bench features a thick plank seat, sturdy turned legs with block feet, and a simple open back with upright supports, all crafted from solid oak with a pale, time softened surface that reflects years of steady use. Originally made for a chapel hall, it was designed to seat several people comfortably through long services. Today, Sylvie loves it in an entryway or along a dining wall.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

This bench is still very sturdy. The finish has mostly rubbed off of, leaving raw oak with slightly raised grain and spots of previous finish. There is patinated metal hardware along the surface and back of the bench. As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it.

All items are final sale.
