FAQs

A pig bench is a utilitarian wooden form historically used in rural farmhouses and butcher yards for food preparation and agricultural tasks, characterised by a thick timber slab top and sturdy legs.

These pieces were typically crafted from native hardwoods such as solid oak or elm, assembled using traditional joinery methods like through-tenons and pegging without modern metal fasteners.

Authentic items display genuine age-related patination, heavy wear marks, hand-adzed tool signatures, and shrinkage cracks consistent with centuries of use.

This piece works effectively as an organic contrast in minimalist spaces, functioning as low display surfaces, hallway seating, or as a characterful accent against neutral walls.

Preserve the surface by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and occasionally applying natural beeswax to nourish the dry wood without altering the historic patina.
