Description
This stunning bench is crafted entirely of pitch pine & was made circa 1930's. It is a solid piece that has loads of character. As mentioned, it is made entirely of pine, even the reversible back rest mechanism is attached using a wooden peg system. The back rest is able to be pulled forward & backwards, making the seating face one way or another. The bench would have been situated in the centre of a railway platform & this ingenious design meant that passengers could switch which side of the railway they faced whilst waiting for a train. It's a very comfortable bench as the seating is carved in a slightly curved manner. The back rest is at the perfect angle to sit in a rested position & not too up right. There is also a shelf crafted in to the bench which can be used to store books, magazines or other various objects if you wish. Despite its age it only shows the usual signs of wear, including scuffs & scratches, some names carved in to the wood from bored passengers no doubt. This only adds to it's vintage charm. due to the size of this piece we will ship this via courier. Please message before purchasing to obtain an accurate postage quote.
