Product description
Antique bench in elm wood, from China. An everyday bench from rural China, dating to the late Qing dynasty.
It was a working and gathering piece, set by the house door or near the stove for evening conversation.
The seat, made from a single elm plank, rests on two pairs of splayed A-shaped legs joined by tenoned stretchers.
The legs, darkened by age, contrast with the honey-toned, open-grained seat.
Along a dining table or in a garden, it works as a long bench that adds seating without crowding the space.
