FREE Shipping on this item within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield areas will attract a surcharge to send via couriers.
This is a beautiful late 19th Century folding seat bench in cast iron framework with antique pitch pine seating. It dates from around 1870-1890 and was made by the North of England School Furnishing Co, based in Darlington [‘Furney’] (1860’s to c1970). We assume it was therefore originally used in a school hall, dining room or gym? It is in superb condition for its age with all joints being solid and the bench sitting very sturdy for regular use. We fully cleaned the piece and gently restored its colour and finish, with some simple waxing to the gorgeous cast iron legs and back support.
All four seats fold up which makes it perfect for a narrow hallway. We love the style, colour and overall versatility of the bench. It could be a hall bench, additional seating for a party, bbq, Christmas etc. The bench is solid and sturdy when folded out and totally useable as an everyday use bench. We have added feet to make it stable but more secure fixings to a floor would make it look more ‘fitted’ and sleeker.
We adore the design and condition, making it stand out from the masses of hall benches available.
Dimensions:
68.5cm Back Height, 188cm Wide, 38cm Deep (back touching wall to front feet)
42.5cm Seat Height
