About the Item

Antique early 19th century Swedish Farmhouse Folk Art Bench Anonymous Sweden; ca. 1800 Polychrome Pinewood Approximate size: 34 (h) x 70.5 (w) x 20 (d) in.; seat height: 18.5 in. This charming, early 19th-century Swedish farmhouse bench showcases a simple yet elegant Scandinavian folk aesthetic. Painted in a light, polychrome blue-green, the bench is crafted entirely from solid wood. Its timeworn patina reveals the beautiful wood grain, enhancing its authentic character. The design features a rectangular seat, flanked by scalloped arms and a backrest supported by intricately turned spindles characteristic of traditional Swedish or Nordic furniture. The bench's weathered finish, muted tones, and minimalist silhouette make it a versatile addition to spaces like entryways or mudrooms. Condition commensurate with age, inclusive of small paint losses, minor craquelure, rubbing, nicks, hairline cracks and minor scratches due to wear and use. Overall stable and solid.
