About the Item

In most Qing dynasty homes, stools and chairs were the only form of elevated seating, and a bench such as this would have been found at a temple or public theater. This 19th century walnut bench has splayed legs linked by straight double stretchers and topped by finely beaded carved spandrels. Sourced from China’s Shanxi region, walnut was a prized material for Qing dynasty furniture. Displaying an open-grained texture, the wood peeks out from behind a dark lacquer finish, lending the bench fantastic character. Additional dimensions: Seat: 12.5"D
