Direct from a cathedral in Antwerp, this superb, highly carved canopied bench is fit for a castle, with a massive 7 ft. height and 6 ft. length! Exquisite hand carvings, with an upper, full length paneled canopy top featuring center twin cornucopia “horns of plenty” with carved fruits and foliage, flanked on either side by carved horse/serpents and urns filled with fruits on the corners. Three large, recessed panels comprise the back, each having an elaborate, raised carved crown above floral and foliate designs that continue the entire length of the panels. The lower front has similar carvings with medallion centers, and dimensional creatures on either side. Thick, custom cushion for the large seating area, which lifts to reveal interior storage the entire length of the bench. The upper crown/canopy is supported by turned baluster columns on each side. Quality throughout, gorgeous dark aged patina; well built by craftsmen of the period, circa 1860. We’re honored to offer this unique antique, originally from a cathedral in Antwerp.
