About the Item

A rare and sculptural 19th-century Alpine monastic bench, masterfully handcrafted from solid wood with a rich, time-worn patina. This multifunctional piece was likely used in a communal or ecclesiastical setting in the Alpine regions, reflecting both practicality and austere beauty. The high, paneled backrest is complemented by simple, sturdy armrests, with a central feature: a fold-down table that can be used for reading, dining, writing, or display. This multifunctional element is supported by two simple wooden arms and stows upright when not in use. This bench anchors any space - entryway, library, or dining area - with soul and historic presence. Dimensions: W 248 cm, D 64 cm, D open 110cm, H 165 cm, SH 42 cm, AH 82 cm
