Antique Pine Swedish Bench with Storage

About the Item

This style of Swedish pine bench was formerly known as a "maid's bed." This bench was originally designed as a type of "spare bed," as the lower section would pull out to reveal a small mattress inside and was typically kept in the kitchen, next to the table. The seat still lifts up (and off) to reveal storage below, as seen in the photos. The attractive open carved back back and gently curved side arms and feet add to its charm. This traditional Swedish bench has been restored; the warm pine has been kept natural and given a wax finish. Wear is commensurate with age, any nicks, scratches, or distress do not detract from the function nor beauty of this lovely Swedish bench. Seat Height: 18".
