The surface shows extensive authentic distress from generations of use, revealing natural oak below along with remnants of earlier white paint and traces of burgundy and red. The top plank shows age-related separation consistent with antique oak construction. Additional cracks, gouges, scratches, and surface wear are visible throughout, all reflective of its age and history. The bench has been restored, remains strong and stable, and is ready for daily use. It is the layered paint, worn edges, and exposed wood that give this bench its genuine Swedish country character. A practical and charming example of late 19th-century Scandinavian craftsmanship.
