About the Item

Evoking the charm of an English garden, this wrought iron bench from circa 1920 features graceful lines and a timeworn patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. The backrest is framed with intersecting curved bars that create an elegant X-motif, mirrored by the scrolling arms and gently arched legs. Its open slat seat rests comfortably at 15 inches high, offering ample space for two while maintaining a light, airy silhouette ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings. Traces of original green paint remain visible beneath the natural surface oxidation, adding layers of character to the bench’s rustic finish. Whether placed on a terrace, in an entry hall, or nestled into a conservatory, this early 20th-century English bench brings sculptural appeal and historical presence to its surroundings. Robust in construction yet visually delicate, it makes a fitting companion to traditional, country house, or even transitional decor schemes. A simple cushion may be added for comfort without detracting from the integrity of its original design.

Vintage Wrought-Iron Diana the Huntress Pattern Garden Bench with Upholstery
By Molla
Located in Atlanta, GA
A Molla painted wrought iron upholstered garden bench from the mid-20th century depicting Diana, goddess of the hunt and her arrows. Created in the midcentury, this exquisite iron bench features a nicely weathered painted finish. Revealing its neoclassical influence, the nicely curved back is adorned with arrow motifs in its upper section that give us a hint about the character depicted below in each pierced splat. We are indeed in the presence of Diana, goddess of the moon and of the hunt, also known as Artemis in Greek mythology. Dressed in her typical garment and showcasing the moon crescent on her head, she is ready to draw an arrow from her quiver. One of her canine companions is placed behind her. Both of them are surrounded by delicate foliage reminding us of Diana's taste for the outdoors. Two scrolling open arms flank the rectangular seat, recovered with a new upholstery. The ensemble is raised on eight slightly splaying legs. With its neoclassical theme and weathered patina, this American painted bench...
