About the Item

Spanish Colonial Revival Carved Bench with Storage, Peru, circa 1940 A striking example of Spanish Colonial Revival craftsmanship, this Peruvian bench, circa 1940, exudes old-world charm with its intricate hand-carved details and robust construction. Fashioned from solid dark hardwood, the bench features a tall, regal backrest adorned with turned spindles, scrolling foliate motifs, and stylized volutes that frame its imposing presence. The seat, broad and sturdy, conceals a discreet yet practical storage compartment beneath a hinged lid, making this piece as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. The apron and legs are further enriched with finely carved foliate patterns, adding to its ornate appeal. Rooted in the colonial traditions of Spain and Latin America, this bench showcases the region's expert woodworking techniques, combining elegance with durability. Its high-relief carvings and finely turned spindles evoke the grandeur of 17th and 18th-century ecclesiastical furniture while maintaining a slightly rustic warmth. Ideal for an entryway, grand hall, or period-inspired interior, this bench brings a touch of history and sophistication to any space. Whether serving as a statement piece or a functional seating option, it remains a testament to the enduring beauty of Spanish Colonial design.

18th Century Spanish Colonial Bench

Located in Rio De Janeiro, BR

18th Century Spanish Colonial Bench A rare and highly evocative mid 18th-century Spanish Colonial bench, crafted entirely in solid hardwood, likely native to the Americas, displaying the unmistakable synthesis of Iberian baroque influences and vernacular craftsmanship typical of colonial furniture. This bench stands out for its sculptural silhouette, featuring a high backrest and apron, both adorned with a rhythmic sequence of arched scalloped patterns, known in period terminology as perfiles lobulados. This decorative motif, rooted in both Moorish and Spanish medieval designs, was commonly adapted by colonial artisans throughout the Viceroyalties. The bench retains its original joinery and pegged construction, a testament to its authenticity and structural integrity. The slightly canted backrest, crowned by finial posts, offers both aesthetic charm and ergonomic comfort, making it suitable for both domestic and ecclesiastical settings. The aged patina, with rich oxidation and wear consistent with centuries of use, enhances its historical character without compromising stability. The robust seat, also original, rests securely above the elegantly shaped skirt, whose pronounced lobes lend movement and visual rhythm to the piece. This is not merely a utilitarian bench but an embodiment of the colonial spirit — practical yet imbued with artistry. Ideal for collectors, decorators, or institutions seeking an authentic representation of 18th-century Spanish Colonial design. Its simplicity, combined with the boldness of its cutouts, makes it versatile enough to grace a rustic hacienda...
