About the Item

These benches were originally crafted for public spaces - finding their way into homes, shops, and even workstations at a later stage. They bear the mark of the early 20th-century, a time when wood was intricately carved into everyday objects, such as furniture. Each vein of these benches tells a story, a testament to the beauty of the rustic, solid elm wood and to the visual benefits of the benches’ understated, organic form. This design has stood the test of time, becoming a cherished addition to any space they occupy. Each bench has been treated and polished in natural wax, allowing the tone and grain of the native elm wood to come through. The design of these benches highlights their strength and solidity, with a delicate ornament adorning the bottom of the seating plank. As the elmwood ages, it develops a rich patina, lending the benches a warm, aged appearance. Signs of wear, such as smoothed edges and slight discolouration, add to the benches’ character and visual appeal. The nail-free joints give these benches a rustic charm and genuine beauty that will pair well with many contemporary design items. These benches, despite their solid appearance, maintain an airy feel due to the distance between the top and the lower stretchers. The rectangular seat is supported by a beautiful lower structure, including widening legs defined by simplicity and expert woodworking. The simple design of these benches serves to highlight the understated beauty of natural materials and their limitless potential in the hands of a skilled craftsman. Elm, the chosen hardwood, is exceptionally durable. This durability ensures that these benches will stand the test of time, making them a lasting addition to any interior.
