Rare Dutch Baroque Hall Bench after Daniel Marot, circa 1720
Rare Dutch Baroque Hall Bench after Daniel Marot, circa 1720

Rare Dutch Baroque Hall Bench after Daniel Marot, circa 1720

By Daniel Marot

Located in EVERDINGEN, NL

An exceptionally rare Dutch Baroque hall bench, or halbank, dating from circa 1720 - 1740, executed in solid carved oak and closely following the decorative language associated with Daniel Marot (1661–1752). A highly unusual survivor from the Dutch Baroque interior - sculptural and exuberantly carved, yet exceptionally intimate in scale. The hall bench (halbank) is a distinctly Dutch type of furniture that became fashionable around 1700, when the entrance halls of prosperous Dutch houses developed into increasingly important representative spaces. In the grand canal houses and patrician townhouses of cities such as Amsterdam, these halls were often furnished quite sparingly, allowing a small number of impressive objects, such as a standing clock, console or richly carved bench, to become part of the architecture itself. The finest hall benches were therefore conceived more as sculptural elements for an interior than as functional seating. Their elaborate carving echoed the carved woodwork, stucco decoration and architectural ornament found elsewhere in the house. Surviving examples are rare, particularly those retaining such an extensive and sophisticated carved decoration. The development of this type of furniture is closely connected with the enormous influence of Daniel Marot, the French Huguenot architect, engraver and designer who settled in the Netherlands and became court designer to Stadholder-King William III of Orange. Marot introduced the grandeur and ornamental vocabulary of the French Louis XIV court to the Netherlands, adapting it to Dutch architecture and interiors. His designs for furniture, interiors, architecture and gardens circulated widely through engravings and provided an important source of inspiration for Dutch craftsmen well into the 18th century. This particular bench is best described as “after Daniel Marot”, referring to this strong stylistic and ornamental connection. The design is remarkably elaborate. The high pierced back is constructed around a strongly symmetrical composition of latticework, sweeping C- and S-scrolls, flowers, acanthus leaves, scrolling foliage and deeply carved ornamental strapwork. At its centre is a charming figurative panel depicting what appears to be a leaping stag or deer in a landscape, positioned above a small shield. Large scrolling elements rise above and around this central motif, while carved rosettes and foliage punctuate the open latticework. The sculptural treatment continues throughout the bench. The arms sweep forward in powerful scrolling curves, the seat rail is carved with continuous foliage, and the pierced apron below forms an almost lace-like sequence of scrolling ornament. Particularly striking are the broad panelled front supports, each decorated with a large flowering foliate motif carved in relief against a textured ground and framed by a dramatic inward-curving scroll. Despite the extraordinary amount of decoration, the bench has unusually modest proportions. At only 98 cm wide, it is considerably smaller than the monumental hall benches normally associated with this tradition, yet it incorporates virtually all of their architectural and ornamental vocabulary. This compact scale is one of its most intriguing characteristics. It strongly suggests that the bench was made as a specific commission for a particular position within a sophisticated private interior, rather than as a conventional large hall bench. It possesses the visual presence of a much larger piece while occupying remarkably little space. Literature: The Schermerhorn Collection: Important Dutch Furniture and Sculpture, Christie’s Amsterdam, 29 September 1999, pp. 8–14, with an essay by Amjad Rauf discussing the history and development of the Dutch hall bench...

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs

With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.

Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.

Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.

The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.

Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.

With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.

Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames.
