Description

This exquisite elm wood bench is wonderfully versatile and perfect for adding extra seating in a bedroom or for a cozy window nook. It is a nice example of the traditional wooden benches that have been used in China for centuries, both indoors and outdoors. These simple pieces were commonly found outside restaurants, shops, and other small businesses, providing a comfortable spot for customers or staff to rest and enjoy the fresh air. This particular bench hails from Shanxi province and, like many pieces of furniture from the region, is crafted from elm wood with a single plank top. The wood has a lovely patina and weathered finished formed over the years. The design exudes a timeless Chinese aesthetic, featuring an A-frame and beveled legs that fit seamlessly into the bench seat with tenons.
