A Huge Original Hungarian Antique Oak/hardwood Pig Bench 187cm/6ft

19th century
Description

This table is in good condition. It is totally original to Hungary.

This table / bench would look well in an old or modern property particularly in a georgian / victorian property in a living room as a coffee table. This would look great with a large flat screen TV placed on top. This is very stylish and would look fantastic even in a reception of a hotel.

This table stands on square tapered legs supporting the main section. The main section is one large block. This block is 3/4 inches thick and has remarkable character and markings that only years of use could demonstrate.

The height is 49cm, the width is 187cm and the depth is 74cm.

Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating predominantly from Eastern Europe, pig benches were utilitarian wooden tables historically used on farms for processing livestock. Today, these sturdy, thick-topped benches are repurposed as low coffee tables or decorative statement furniture in modern homes.

Traditional pig benches were constructed from dense, locally sourced hardwoods such as oak, elm, or pine. They feature thick timber slab tops supported by heavy splayed legs inserted directly into mortised sockets beneath.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy physical wear, including historical cut marks, surface indentations, timber shrinkage, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. Modern reproductions lack the deep natural patina, genuine tool marks, and irregular historical dimensions of original examples.

These benches function effectively as low coffee tables in living rooms or as grounded low display tables along wide corridors. Positioned alongside clean-lined modern sofas, the weathered timber adds depth and tactile contrast to a room.

Maintain the original surface patina by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying clear natural beeswax once or twice per year. Keep the bench away from direct heat sources to prevent timber splitting or warping.
