Alpine storage bench in solid larch, originating from the mountainous regions of piedmont — a powerful example of rustic, utilitarian folk craftsmanship from the late 18th to early 19th century. A piece of alpine work, likely shaped for everyday use and kept for many years near the fireplace, which explains its exceptionally darkened, deeply genuine patina.
the bench features a sturdy construction in thick planks, with a hinged seat providing access to the storage compartment. The original iron fittings, simple and without a lock, underline its purely functional character. One leg was replaced during an old restoration — a traditional intervention meant to extend the life of the piece without altering its spirit.
a raw and honest object for those who appreciate pieces that visibly carry their own history: its imperfections are precisely what make it beautiful, revealing its uses, the gestures of daily life, and the decades spent close to the fire.
dimensions: h 92 cm – seat height 45 cm – w 114 cm – d 42 cm
