19th century

Sold by Culvertons

Description

There is something rather special about an antique hall bench - they are functional and versatile (they look great in an entrance hall, at the end of a bed or as a window seat) ,yet pleasing on the eye, and the simplicity of their design can provide the basis on which a decorative scheme can grow. This lovely mahogany example from the 1840's has recently undergone some sensitive restoration - the restorer has skilfully retained both its character and its warm and appealing colour. When appraising a hall bench you should always turn it upside down to see if the original glue blocks that hold the seat in place are still in situ, this will gives you some indication of its authenticity - as you can see from the image this example passes that test. Hall benches were designed to be used and enjoyed, so we do expect a certain amount of historic marking to the legs - apart from adding to its character, it is also a good indication of a benches originality. A nice example of a sought after piece of antique furniture.
