A characterful continental pine bench with warm brown painted surface and a flip-back design.
Likely made in Romania in the early 20th century, this bench features a slatted backrest that pivots to reverse seating direction — a traditional construction often used in churches for viewing both altar and font.
Set on splayed stick legs with pegged joints and a thick plank seat, this is a simple and functional example of vernacular European furniture.
A decorative and versatile piece, perfect for hallways, mudrooms or boot rooms
