Description
Antique wooden bench in natural wood color (c.1900).
Aging from one hundred to one hundred and fifty years old, we have managed to assemble a small collection of antique solid wood benches. All different, all unique, all special, one of a kind pieces… It has been a great endeavour of patience, time and decisions.
The collection and final selection of several examples of antique wooden stools has been successful. Each antique wooden bench has similar dimensions, although there is no two pieces alike. While most of these wooden benches are made of solid elm wood, some are solid pine wood. They preserve the original and handcrafted assembly of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Each antique bench has been individually restored based on its own needs. For example, some benches had the original assembly damaged and the affected part was rebuilt while maintaining its original condition as much as possible.
We also found antique benches with some varnish or layers of paint applied by their former owner. In these cases we applied an artisan stripping process with the aim of raising the nobility of the original wood. We have found other antique benches in perfect condition and it was only necessary to apply beeswax to fill the pores of the solid elm wood and thus enable them to withstand a hundred more years of life.
Each bench, with its uniqueness and exclusivity, with its own imperfections and wounds of time, gives its particular personality and fills the space with its own strength.

There are endless places to add a natural wood bench like the ones we propose. We imagine it as a foot-bed stool, or a bedroom stool for daily use, or also as an entrance bench in the hall of your home. Its rustic and at the same time sober appearance is ideal as a decoration element in any room: in the bathroom or even in the hall.
The timeless character of wood allows you to play with existing combinations, and it can be combined with modern spaces as well as more rustic spaces.
We also recommend our antique tables as a perfect complement to these antique wooden benches.
