Description

One of the most common benches in Swedish furniture history and the bench that the common people used indoors for their long trestle tables.

This particular model with baroque-shaped legs of the early 18th century type was one of the most common even into the early 19th century.

The model for our bench comes from the Hedemora Theater, built in 1828, still in use and one of the few preserved rural theaters of the time.

In the 20th century, we have often seen these benches moved out and used as garden benches – the rustic quality means that the bench can stand outdoors.

The baroque bench is just the right length for our percussion table, but could also be useful as a bench in the hall, as a flower bench indoors, or why not as a garden bench?

The bench has a seat board in the form of a single plank and the legs, sawn from one piece, are inserted with continuous tenons and wedges in the seat board. The bench is hand-planed in a contemporary style.
