Great for that farmhouse look, these are work really well in a hallway with all the storage room
The tall back is formed of three panels, the central panel carved in relief with a dramatic historical scene depicting two figures in medieval dress, flanked by panels carved with classical profile busts framed by foliate ornament
The arms terminate in finely carved lion head terminals, while the front rail is decorated with scrolling foliage and shield motifs
The deep seat lifts to reveal generous internal storage, a traditional feature of monkb s benches designed for use in entrance halls and country houses
The bench is executed in dark oak with a wonderful aged patina, the carving displaying strong Renaissance Revival influence typical of continental furniture of the late nineteenth century
