Painted Pine Storage Bench or Settle

About the Item

This lovely storage bench has a long flat back rail scalloped at the corners where it meets the scrolled top of the high arm each end. Two bold stiles divide the back into three compartments, each one with four narrow splats. Instead of a lifting seat, here the storage is comprised of a deep hand-cut dovetailed drawer which runs the length of the bench and opens on original ceramic knobs. The later worn blue paintwork is decorated with folk art floral motifs and a white panel on the seat wherein the theme is repeated.

  • Pine Storage Bench or Settle in Original Decorative Paint
    Located in Baltimore, MD
    What an amazing bench! In line and form it is very much like other Central European storage benches we offer, albeit a very fine example. It has straight back rails enclosing three flat panels. The legs are straight and the integral arms are only slightly scrolled and enclose another flat panel. The seat lifts to reveal a deep storage well, divided into two compartments. But the original finish is outstanding. The background is a deep oxblood on which black stripes are applied in such a pattern as to present as a stylized grain paint. Vertical here and horizontal there, laid straight or diagonally, or in arches. The five rectangular panels have the tromp l’oeil effect of being raised panels. These and the diamonds and “arrow heads” appear to be faux grain painted as a maple or some similar species. The overall effect is stunning and rare. This dealer purchased a Hungarian chest...
