About the Item

This Box Bench has a great form and has all the characteristics we look for in a Central European Storage Bench. For most of its length the top rail is flat, only following a curve where it meets the scrolled armrest. The straight bottom rail, with three wide vertical splats, frames two “windows”, each containing four hardwood turned full balusters. The rails and splats are incised with flutes and reeds. The arms/legs are oak and are straight, up to the level of the seat, then they boldly scroll up to the armrest, framing three more full columns as they go. The broad seat is reinforced with two wooden cleats dovetailed into the underside and it lifts on iron strap hinges to reveal a deep storage well, divided into one large and two small compartments. The black paint post dates the construction of the bench and is worn through to bare wood in places.
