circa 1750 English Georgian Patinated and Worn Elm Trestle Bench

About the Item

ENGLISH PATINATED ELM LONG TRESTLE BENCH Two available Circa 1750 with restorations Item # 305TBP10L-2 An incredibly beautiful bench, we acquired this as part of a pair (the other possibly still available in our inventory under item # 305TBP10L-1) and they are being offered separately. It makes an extraordinary accent piece for a long entryway or hallway, at the end of a king sized bed or if both benches are purchased they work beautifully as intended: as seating for a trestle table of similar vintage. Crafted circa 1750, it has clearly been enjoyed actively for centuries and retains incredibly vibrant surface history that has resulted in a silky glowing patina throughout. A rare form. Measurements: 17 5/8" H x 14 1/2" D (at feet) x 6" D (at seat) x 68 7/8" W Condition Report: The bench has a slight warp that results in the need of a furniture pad under two feet to level it. Feet are very heavily worn with losses. Various other restorations. Heavily worn and patinated surface.

  • Worn and Patinated English Antique Pine Tavern Table Desk
    Located in Shippensburg, PA
    ENGLISH WORN AND PATINATED PINE TAVERN TABLE Circa the mid-19th century, with three drawers in the apron Item # 402VDP08Z A richly worn tavern table with a wonderful all-over surface patina from well over a century of life and active use, this gorgeous English tavern table features a large pine table top projecting over a simple frame holding three generous size drawers in the front. Each is hand-dovetailed in the typical manner and is hung with an oversized turned wooden knob. It is raised on four incredibly sturdy and robust tapered legs with large exposed pin joinery throughout. The legs are stretched with short stretchers tenoned into the legs on either side and two full-width stretchers that are dovetailed into the side stretchers. Incredibly beautiful and also super practical for so many applications. It makes a fantastic desk or working table, but is generally used in the kitchen as a breakfast table or as a working table/island. And the rich surface patina gives the new owner a great deal of permission to actively use and contribute to the surface history without fear of damage or deterioration from a few stains or abrasions. Measurements: 29 5/8" H x 28 5/8" D x 80 3/4" W Condition Report: Large square of pine set into the table top to probably replace a knot or area of damage; a stretcher at the back (between the legs along the length of the table) was removed at one point and it appears the center stretchers that are dovetailed into the side stretchers were added - a rather old alteration that allows for foot room. Inactive pest damage throughout with significant wear. About silla antiques...
