Marvellous Furniture

Description

Made of solid, dark oak in the Yorkshire Oak style of Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson, this anonymous oak bench was by repute recently removed from St Nicholas' Cathedral in Newcastle. The rectangular top bears the marks of the tool that worked it and it has a carved double moulding around the edges. The shaped supports have a lightly adzed finish and the stretcher, finished in much the same way as the top, is pegged into place.

It measures 122cm long, 45.5cm wide (at the base) and 64cm high.

In good and original condition with an old chip to one corner of the top.
