Antique Walnut and Oak Wood Church Bench Aesthetic Movement

About the Item

This exceptional antique Aesthetic Movement wooden church bench is circa 1870, possibly originating from Virginia. This lovely bench is handcrafted from solid oak and walnut wood with elegant design detailing indicative of the Aesthetic Movement in American furniture. The perfect accent piece with authentic rustic farmhouse character. Aesthetic Movement The Aesthetic Movement, also known as “art for art’s sake,” permeated British culture during the latter part of the 19th century and spread to other countries such as the United States. Based on the idea that beauty was the most important element in life, designers sought to create works that were admired simply for their beauty rather than any narrative or moral function. The Aesthetic Movement arose in counter to the Industrial Revolution, provided a challenge to the Victorian public and was an important stepping-stone in the road towards modern art and design.
