Constructed of solid pitch pine, the bench features a fixed horizontal bar back that is supported by sturdy cast iron upright arms. Likewise, the seat is constructed of solid pitch pine and features a concave shape for comfortable seating. The ends of the seat and bar back are chamfered. The bench is supported by two solid cast iron cross-stretchers that connect to the bar backs. This style of bench would have been constructed for use on the British railway system, on station platforms during the late Victorian period. The bench boasts an excellent colour and patination. It is completely original and is very heavy and sturdy.
We have several other benches for sale if you are looking to purchase more than just one bench.
The bench features a rich pitch pine colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This item would look superb in a variety of rooms from the hall way or kitchen.

Condition Report:
This item is in excellent and completely original condition. Importantly, there are no breaks to the case iron legs or supporting arms. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the wood seat and wooden bar back but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The bench boasts its original polish; which is why the colour and patination is excellent. This patination cannot be recreated through re-polishing. The seat and legs are sturdy, solid in joint and is ready to use.
