Antique English Reversible Back Railway Bench, 9’ Long
A Victorian railway station bench with a working reversible backrest. The flip mechanism, supported by its original cast iron brackets, allowed waiting passengers to face whichever platform their train was departing from. It still works exactly as it should.
Built from solid pitch pine, which was the timber of choice for Victorian public furniture precisely because it could take punishment.
Dimensions: W 108" D 11.5" H 33.5"
Origin: England
Circa Date:1890
Condition: This one has been taking it since around 1890, and the surface shows it in the best possible way. The patina is deep, the wear is honest, and the whole thing has the kind of presence that only comes with genuine age.
