Antique Swedish Primitive Pine Folk Bench

About the Item

This is the perfect primitive bench, just under two metres in length. This beautiful solid pine bench, was hand crafted in Sweden in the early 19th century and is a typical example of the playful and intricate 'allmoge' (Swedish folk) design that is currently much loved throughout interiors around the world. The legs display a whimsical bow legged shape which feels so fresh and relevant today despite being and antique piece. The patina of the wood is incredibly rich and characterful. It has markings and wear and tear that don't interfere with the stability of the piece but emphasise this is a piece of history, and add to the charm, richness of character and uniqueness.
