About the Item
Here's a very decorative bench in the style of Swedish designer, Folke Bensow (1886-1971). In fact, this bench seems to be made to almost the exact specifications to the original model from 1925. The original, bench 'Taburett Nr 1' was cast in metal. This bench is wood and painted to simulate weathered iron. The country of origin is unknown and the age appears to be from the 1970s. That said, this example came from a wealthy estate of a Fortune 500 CEO. In our research, we have not been able to find other examples of this bench in wood. The dimensions of the bench are also identical to the original iron model. Condition is very good--the painted finish has texture and almost has a waxed feel. Bensow's original metal bench of this style, which was shown at the 1925 Paris World Exhibition, is rare and highly valuable.
We have another Bensow-style bench listed from this same estate that is longer.
Folke Bensow was a Swedish-born architect and furniture designer who worked and studied in both Stockholm and Copenhagen, Denmark.
