About
This lovely pine bench is a wonderful example of Swedish Gustavian country craftsmanship. The lightly distressed white paint with black finials and carved details add to its allure. The seat opens to reveal a storage space below. This style of bench originally served as a type of spare bed as the bottom could pull out revealing a type of "trundle" bed inside. This bench has been fully restored, strong and ready to use has been given a wax finish, enhancing the Painted finish. The bench seat is a solid plank of wood, ready to be upholstered. The photos here show the wood with a black fabric covering to provide a visual of what the bench might look like upholstered.
