19th-Century Swedish Neoclassical Bench with Upholstered Seat

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
An elegant 19th-century Swedish bench in the Neoclassical style, crafted in solid wood and distinguished by its refined proportions and restrained decorative detail. The frame features fluted legs accented with carved rosettes, reflecting the classical vocabulary favored in Swedish interiors of the period. The legs are joined by an arched cross-stretcher centered by a turned finial, providing both structural stability and visual balance.

The seat has been newly upholstered in a textured neutral fabric that complements the warm, naturally patinated wood. A line of brass nailhead trim defines the upholstery edge, adding a subtle decorative contrast while remaining faithful to the bench’s understated character. The wood surface shows an even patina consistent with age, highlighting the quality of the carving and craftsmanship.

Versatile in scale and function, this bench is well suited for placement at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or alongside a writing desk. A fine example of 19th-century Scandinavian design, combining clarity of form, utility, and timeless elegance.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
