Description

A stunning antique Victorian carved mahogany bench / stool by Waring and Gillows. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1880-1900 period.

It is of extremely fine quality and is a very useful item, perfect for use in various settings including as a window seat, bench at the end of a bed or as an entry way bench. The solid mahogany frame has profuse and crisp carving, it is finished identically front and back, so can be used as a free standing item.

We have had the frame re-polished, we have also had it fully re-upholstered in a cream cotton fabric. The condition is excellent for its age, with just some extremely minor wear remaining beneath the polish here and there.

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

Victorian seating is characterised by robust craftsmanship, dark woods such as mahogany, and eclectic influences drawing from gothic, classical, and rococo revivals.

These pieces typically utilise solid mahogany, walnut, or oak frames featuring hand-carved detailing, mortise and tenon joinery, and traditional horsehair or sprung upholstery.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-cut joinery, the natural ageing and patination of the timber, tool marks, and historical upholstery methods underneath.

Place the bench in an entryway or at the foot of a bed to ground the room, pairing its dark wood and classic silhouette against neutral walls to create visual contrast.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying appropriate beeswax.
