Swedish Neoclassical Painted Bench, 19th Century
-
Description
A refined Swedish bench from the 19th century, embodying the elegance of Neoclassical design. The carved wooden frame retains traces of its original painted finish, now aged into a soft patina that highlights the crisp detailing. The apron is decorated with a repeating carved motif, adding rhythm and refinement to the structure. The bench rests on four tapered legs, each subtly fluted, giving the piece balance and a graceful stance. The seat is upholstered in black fabric, creating a bold contrast against the pale painted wood and lending it both versatility and sophistication. Perfectly proportioned, this bench is well suited for use in an entryway, at the foot of a bed, or as a striking accent in a living room. With its combination of classical ornament, restrained form, and rich surface character, it reflects the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of 19th-century Swedish furniture.
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! -
