A delightful 19th century painted wooden bench, this is an example of a ‘bed bench’ copied from an 18th century design which would originally have been used as a step to get up into a high bed and as a seat.

– Lovely painted design on the front apron representing the parable of the wise and foolish virgins from the bible, with a central building painted with the date of 1756.
– Carved inset flowers on the apron.
– Ladies with crooks and water in the background painted on each end panel.
– Painted dark green, with muted colours for the designs.
– Turned legs.
– Two planked top.

This will look stunning as a decorative piece in a bedroom, at the foot of a bed where it was originally intended to be placed and will be useful for cushions, clothing or as a seat. It will also make a great hallway bench for putting for putting on footwear.

In good condition showing wear consistent with age and use. There is some paint flaking from the joint of the two planks which make up the top, but this is not obtrusive and adds to the character of the piece. It is sturdy and fit for purpose.
