Hall benches from the 19th century often follow a fairly typical design, but can be found in an extremely wide variety of sizes, designs, qualities and periods. This is a good size and also very good quality, dating to the late regency period\.

Also, quite unusually it is constructed from attractive and rich oak timbers, which are of a good colour and surface. It has elegant turned rolls to each end, these can often be unattractive and almost a bit of an afterthought, not so with this particular example however.

The legs on which it is raised are elegant, of typical design but very well executed and its always nice to have the reeded legs.

Absolutely perfect for a huge variety of different spaces around the home, we would suggest underneath the window, along a narrow hallways wall, behind a settee, at the end of a bed and even as a narrow coffee table as just a small cross section of those potential uses.

The condition of the bench is very good, with no obvious aesthetic deficiency, or structural issues of any kind this piece is very much ready to place into immediate service. As with all items which we offer for sale it has been inspected in our workshops by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish in the traditional fashion.

Circa 1830.
