Old Dutch wooden bench with woven seat

Antique Dutch wooden bench with woven seat

A characterful old Dutch bench with a tall slatted back, wide armrests and a hand-woven seat of natural rush. The dark wood has a warm, lived-in patina with wear, colour variations and old signs of use. Subtly turned details on the uprights and front legs add a refined accent.

Its compact size makes the bench easy to place, yet the tall back gives it plenty of presence.

Why we chose this piece

The simple construction, straight lines and well-worn patina give this bench a calm, authentic character.
