About the Item

A Molla painted wrought iron upholstered garden bench from the mid-20th century depicting Diana, goddess of the hunt and her arrows. Created in the midcentury, this exquisite iron bench features a nicely weathered painted finish. Revealing its neoclassical influence, the nicely curved back is adorned with arrow motifs in its upper section that give us a hint about the character depicted below in each pierced splat. We are indeed in the presence of Diana, goddess of the moon and of the hunt, also known as Artemis in Greek mythology. Dressed in her typical garment and showcasing the moon crescent on her head, she is ready to draw an arrow from her quiver. One of her canine companions is placed behind her. Both of them are surrounded by delicate foliage reminding us of Diana's taste for the outdoors. Two scrolling open arms flank the rectangular seat, recovered with a new upholstery. The ensemble is raised on eight slightly splaying legs. With its neoclassical theme and weathered patina, this American painted bench, circa 1950 will bring a touch of antiquity to any home. If you desired to place it outside, please note that you would need to have Sumbrella put on it.

Located in Atlanta, GA
A rustic English Victorian period iron garden bench from the 19th century with fan-shaped back, wooden seat and rusty patina. This charming English Victorian period iron garden bench from the 19th century captures the essence of rustic elegance with its fan-shaped back and gracefully arched arms.
