Freestanding Karl Johan Bench in Black Paint, circa 1830

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A very unusual freestanding Karl Johan bench, Swedish, circa 1830, repainted in black and newly covered in linen. The backless form rises to gracefully scrolled ends, and unlike the typical Swedish bench built to stand against a wall, this example is finished on all sides, opening genuinely flexible placement: at the foot of a bed, backing a sofa, centered in a large hall, or beneath a window. The seat accommodates two comfortably. The black painted frame gives the piece graphic strength against the fresh natural linen, and the scrolled silhouette reads beautifully from every angle. Freestanding period benches rarely come to market. Wear is consistent with age and use.

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!
