Belgian Carved Oak High Back Bench with Storage

Showcasing the pattern of flecking and tight grain unique to quartersawn oak, this beautiful bench features elaborate carvings typical of late-19th century Belgium furniture. Its high back is carved with the profile of one character on each of its four recessed panels: two males and two females. A shaped cornice with scrollwork, fruit, and a center shield is flanked by ears in the shape of lions bearing additional shields. Lifting to generous storage, the bench's seat is 17.75 inches high. The face of the storage compartment is carved with a central wreath flanked by scrolling grape vines. Two locks with decorative brass escutcheons featuring opposing fish have key holes between their open mouths. Only one key, which in not removable, accompanies and locks the bench. The bench is raised on rear block feet and decorative front feet.


Condition: Good. Newer plates were added to the back of the bench for stability.
