Early 20th Century Arts and Crafts Stool by a Danish Artist, Denmark
About the Item
A rare and charming wooden bench from the early 20th century, crafted in the spirit of the Danish Skønvirke movement — the Scandinavian counterpart to Art Nouveau. This piece features hand-carved scalloped side panels, evoking a stylized shell motif that radiates both elegance and organic beauty. The central stretcher is turned, adding a classical element that balances the whimsical silhouette.
The bench is finished with genuine gilding — not simply painted — a testament to its craftsmanship and attention to detail. Flathead screws further indicate an early date of origin, likely between 1900 and 1920.
The piece shows visible signs of age-related wear, most notably at the base of all four legs, where the wood displays cracking and loss to the painted surface (see detailed images). While structurally stable, these elements contribute to the bench’s timeworn character and antique appeal. The condition has been left untouched to preserve authenticity, but restoration is certainly possible for those seeking a more polished look.
Ideal as a decorative accent, hallway seat, or unique vanity bench, this piece captures the romantic, nature-inspired spirit of the Skønvirke movement
