Here we present a swedish painted bench which has been dry scraped through its various layers of lifetime paint. Shaped backrest with half cut spindle supports, which is carried on in the scrolling arms. Lift up sit provides plenty of storage, which would be ideal for a hallway or cloakroom. Evidence of 3 different colours of paint, with all of them showing in places and with bare pine showing. Would seat a comfortable 4, so could function in the kitchen. Obvious losses to paint work, surface marks to wood work. Minor evidence of dead inactive/treated worm. less
