Mahogany Regency Bench Window Seat Marsh & Tatham Georgian Country House 1820
A fabulous, fine and rare mahogany hallway bench or window seat in wonderful antique condition. This stunning and versatile piece will add gorgeous colouring, refined Regency styling and distinguished Country house splendour to any interior.
Impressively sized and wonderfully crafted from reassuringly heavy mahogany showing wonderful grain and beautiful rich ruddy colouring, this fabulous bench was likely made in the early 19th Century in the manner of Regency design supremos Marsh & Tatham, who reintroduced Greek and Roman aesthetics into the post-industrial design landscape.
Based on a classical Roman seat, this strikingly attractive piece would work as a window seat, hallway bench or even at the foot of a bed. An elegant mix of minimalism and beautiful detailing, it features a large rectangular inlaid top flanked by gracefully arching ‘eared’ ends, which rise over the stunning Corinthian tapering legs, themselves wonderfully detailed with concentric carvings to their circular tops above fluted vertical carvings and finished with gorgeously defined rounded feet.
A fine and rare example, this sumptuous bench displays exemplary quality and craftsmanship and will add gorgeous colouring, stunning elegance and bygone sophistication to any setting.
CONDITION
This is in very-good-to excellent antique condition. Wonderfully crafted from excellent quality and reassuringly heavy solid mahogany, built to last and structurally sound, it has only minor to-be-expected bumps and nicks to show its age. Overall it's a stunning rare piece and if well looked after it should be just as magnificent for generations to come – please see the photos.
