It never sat empty for long. Found in the Italian Alps and dating to the 19th century, this long farm bench is built from dark, well-worn wood with a thick plank seat set on carved trestle ends. The stretcher below is deeply cut, running in a slow, almost lyrical line across the base. Made for daily use, it would have been pulled up to the table or set along a wall, always in rotation. Sylvie keeps it in an entry for boots and baskets, or at the end of a bed with a quilt draped across it.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
