Provincial Chinese Horse Trough Bench, c. 1900
About the Item
A celebration of wabi-sabi, this rustic elmwood bench from the late 19th century originated as a raised trough in a Qing-dynasty horse stable. At some point in its long life, the farm trough was transformed into a three-person bench, with special care taken to preserve the incredible textures of the hand-hewn timbers. Imaginative repairs and patches of inlaid wood tell a story of the wood's many uses and add to its timeworn character.

Shaped from a young elmwood branch, the narrow seat follows the natural contours of the wood, arching slightly with organic movement. The bench is supported by thin, splayed legs linked by stretchers with mortise-and-tenon joinery, without the use of nails or screws. With its weathered texture and meandering form, the unusual bench...
