Pine Double Storage Bench

About the Item

At almost ten feet long, this is quite the longest Hungarian box bench we have offered for sale. Beneath a curvilinear top rail and a straight bottom rail are four raised panels. The leg is straight and the integral arm is slightly scrolled, forming a frame for the raised panel on the side. Two seats, each braced on the underside, lift on iron hinges to access two large storage compartments. Hand-polished to a light honey glow, this bench has some significant areas of inactive woodworm tracks on otherwise fairly clean stock. This is a great piece for a waiting room or a mud room or as toy storage in a basement play room.

  • 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...
