Know before you buy
This bench retains its original light wood finish from the 1920s. It has not been refinished, allowing the authentic age and natural patina to remain intact.
The bench features a solid oak seat with a height of 16.75 inches. While it is sturdy and supportive, it is a vintage wooden piece, so you may want to add a custom cushion if you plan on using it for long periods.
The bench is constructed from solid oak, which is known for its durability. As an authentic vintage piece from the 1920s, it shows expected signs of wear and age, which contribute to its unique character and historical charm.
Because of its open wood back and intricate carvings on the arms and legs, this bench is designed to be appreciated from all angles. It works beautifully as a standalone piece in an entryway or at the foot of a bed.
The bench measures 70 inches wide, 36.5 inches high, and 16 inches deep. We recommend measuring your intended space carefully to ensure there is enough clearance for the carved armrests.
