Here is an example of a very good quality antique Welsh Victorian pitch pine railway station bench, circa 1880, in good original condition. 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.

Condition Report:
This item is in good and completely original condition. Importantly, there are no breaks to the case iron legs or supporting arms. Nominal old use marks to the seat and leading edges, including the pine bar back, as well as a shake present on the seat, 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 extremely sturdy, well constructed, and solid in joint, ready for use.
