A long early 19th century antique elm bench

A charming example of an antique English rustic country kitchen bench, dating to the early 19th century.

Contructed in solid elm with the seat displaying a rich patina and well figured grain throughout. 

Very solid and well built with baluster shaped trestle ends, united by a hefty rail to the underside. The visible block tenons joints to either end of the seat top are a nice detail, which adds to the character of the bench.

Peg construction used to the feet on both supports.

An ideal size and height to use with long kitchen table. Would seat 4 -5 adults.

Dimensions:

Length - 219.6cm

Seat height - 48.7cm

Seat depth - 17.2cm

Foot depth - 45.5cm

Rock solid and ready to use.

Honest wear and tear, with good patina throughout.

Slight gap betwen seat underside and rail at one end, as illustrated.

Historic crack at one end.

Overall a lovely example of an elm bench seat from this period.
