Antique Box Bench in Country Baroque Style
Ref: 3565
A smart and solid antique pine and hardwood box bench combining the virtues of country furniture with a smart decorative style influenced by the French Baroque (this is typical of Hungarian country pieces in the 19th century) and we refer not only to the pleasing curvaceous overall form and line but also to the rows of split baluster spindles that are used to such decorative effect to ornament the back and arm rests. The wonderful scrubbed pine seat shows the age of the piece and this lifts up to reveal a large storage area so the piece like all of our box benches combines solidity, practicality, with the decorative charm and appeal of old handmade European country craftsmanship.
