Item description

A rare and unique solid wood convent bench, characterized by an extremely slender structure and an unusual, reversible, openwork backrest, designed to allow the seat to be used from either side. The backrest is articulated by two sturdy lateral wooden pins and is composed of a long rectangular frame containing two perforated panels with repeating geometric patterns of circles and lenticular shapes. The mechanism allows the backrest to be moved from one side of the seat to the other without moving the bench, a feature found in rare historic Italian benches also intended for convents and ecclesiastical settings. The long and particularly narrow seat is made of wide wooden planks and rests on four slightly splayed cylindrical legs. The construction retains numerous traditional workmanship elements, including visible wooden joints and dowels. The piece features a warm, intense patina, with color variations, marks, abrasions, small cracks, old repairs, and irregularities consistent with age and extensive use. These features are documented in detail in the photographs and constitute part of the object's material history. Based on its typology, construction technique, and comparisons with similar examples, the bench can be attributed to 19th-century Austrian production. Dimensions: Width: 188.5 cm Depth: 34.5 cm Overall height: 75 cm Seat height: 43.5 cm Material: Solid wood, likely walnut Attributed origin: Austrian Attributed period: 19th century Type: Refectory bench / convent bench Features: Reversible, tilting, perforated backrest Condition: Good overall condition for its age, with patina, wear, cracks, old repairs, and traces of use visible in the photographs. The photographs are an integral part of the description and accurately demonstrate the construction, patina, and state of preservation. Given the size of the bench and my work commitments, I do not ship; collection is entirely the responsibility of the final buyer.
