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. Additional Dimensions: Seat: 13.5"H
