About the Item

A distinctive example of vernacular Indonesian craftsmanship, this 19th-century bench was carved from a single massive piece of Javanese teak root. Made circa 1890 in Java, its sculptural form exhibits sweeping rolled arms, a deep seat, and a dramatically carved back, all unified in an organic silhouette that celebrates the natural grain and curvature of the wood. Generous in proportion and rich in character, the bench rests on four hand-shaped rustic legs that provide both stability and visual contrast. The surface retains its original finish with a wonderfully aged patina, showcasing the centuries of use through a deep, mellow glow and tactile textural detail. Wear, age splits, and tool marks enhance its authenticity, lending the piece an elemental and grounded presence. Highly versatile, this piece works beautifully as a functional bench, sculptural accent, or statement entryway seat in both rustic and modern interiors.
