Provincial Courtyard Bench

Embracing the raw beauty of unworked wood, this low bench from Hebei province is made from a single piece of unfinished elmwood timber. Dated to the 19th century, the plank-top bench was crafted using mortise-and-tenon joinery techniques and features simple splayed legs linked by straight stretchers. Set beneath a grand window or beside a sofa as a rustic coffee table, the low bench adds fantastic texture and farmhouse charm to any interior.
