Pair of Chinese Round Leg Courtyard Benches, circa 1900

About the Item

These early 20th century elmwood benches would have originally resided in the courtyard of a Qing-dynasty home to provide much-needed outdoor seating on hot summer days. The benches are designed in a classical Ming style, with a floating panel top, simple spandrels, and round legs linked by double stretchers. Refinished to a warm dark walnut color, the petite benches have an easy, timeless design that work seamlessly into any interior. Additional dimensions: Table apron to floor: 16.5".
