Hand Carved Wooden Church Pew or Bench from Guatemala

About the Item

A beautifully detailed two thirds scale copy of an 18th century hand carved church pew from La Merced Cathedral in Antigua, Guatemala with scroll carved crest ends, arms, front panels, and side shield coat of arms panels, turned spindle backs, and arch carved back support, all supported by three front turned legs with ball feet and three back square legs. The original pew from which this modeled survived the earthquake of 1773, along with the La Merced Cathedral. This pew probably dates to the 20th century, in very good overall condition, with minor surface stains and imperfections, and light wear commensurate with age and use. Dimensions: 52.5 in H x 90.5 in W x 25.5 in D, with a 21 inch seat height. A photo of the original Cathedral is included in the listing. Ref: 8.
