Super Smart Black and Grey Antique Bench
Ref: 3564
A super smart black painted box bench dating from the later 19th century, combines light decorative design with solidity and practical storage beneath lifting lid. The seat shows the old pine worn and polished through use and with traces of paint while the delicate fleur-de-lys fretworking to back and arm rests is painted in warm grey counterpoint. This colour combination is typical of benches coming from the Central European regions in the Biedermeier period and afterwards. Wax finished with layers of colours and hints of old wood pine and hardwood coming through.
