Antique Swedish Folk Art Folding Bench, Original Paint & New Mohair Seat, 1800s

About the Item

This Antique Swedish Folk Art folding bench is a true testament to the craftsmanship of 19th-century Swedish carpenters. Constructed with meticulous attention to detail, it embodies the rustic charm and practicality characteristic of traditional Swedish folk art furniture. What truly sets this piece apart is its original paint, which bears the patina of age and adds to its authentic character. The clear hues of blue, red, and green evoke the calm landscapes and vibrant traditions of Sweden, offering a glimpse into the cultural heritage of the region. The reupholstered seat, adorned in luxurious green mohair fabric, adds a touch of elegance and comfort to this rustic masterpiece. The choice of mohair not only complements the bench's antique charm but also ensures durability and longevity, making it suitable for modern-day use. This decorative bench will complement many interior styles. A Modern, Antique, Scandinavian, Wabi Sabi or an Art Deco home decor.
