18th Century Swedish Gustavian Country Bench

About the Item

Gustavian country bench from the late 18th century. The bench is made in the very north of Sweden, close to the Finnish border in an area called Tornedalen. The bench is unusual and made in painted pine with the original faux paint and intricate carvings. The paint has an authentic patina of time after almost 250 years of use. It has hand carved wooden decor along the whole backrest and front. Because this is an untouched original piece there are some traces of use and a few minor cracks, mainly along the short ends. This does not effected the function or stability in any way. The seat is later and upholstered in unbleached linen fabric.
