LATE 19THC SWEDISH
72" elmwood bench w/lattice back
72" elmwood bench w/lattice back
This is an exceptional Swedish allmoge (folk) bench, the kind made in rural regions of Småland, Dalarna, and Västergötland throughout the 19th century. These practical benches were a fixture in farmhouses and village halls - with this 72" long example in hand-hewn solid elmwood. Classic X-form Baltic lattice work to the back, plank seating and wonderful turned elements to the legs and seat back. A wonderful patina from age and use with iron brackets added later for stability.
