House Note · About this piece

Barjac, a village in the Gard in southern France, fills twice a year for its antiques fair, when dealers lay out old farm tables, chairs and benches for the crowds who come to hunt. This bench is the kind of find people carry home from a day like that. It is a genuine antique, gathered rather than made to order, so it arrives with its own history, and its long seat is ready to go straight back to work at a table or by a door.

Each bench is one of a kind, made in its day from whatever woods were at hand, so the style, the timber and even the length vary from piece to piece. The listed size, 70 inches long, 14 deep and 18 high, is a typical example rather than an exact measure. It is rated to hold 250 lbs, and at about 40 lbs it moves easily.

Set it along one side of a farmhouse table, in an entry as a place to sit and pull on boots, or at the foot of a bed with a folded quilt. In a garden room it holds pots and baskets. This listing is for one antique bench, and the one you receive will be its own.
