Hatfield House, built in 1611 for Robert Cecil, is one of the great Jacobean houses of England, and the stools of that era were the most useful seats in the house: pulled up to the table for a meal, carried to the fire, tucked away again when the room was cleared. This bench carries on that easy, everyday service. Its lines are drawn from Jacobean design, lightened for a modern home, and its woven rush seat is a comfortable perch for one.
It is made from solid hardwood, with double stretchers, pairs of rails between the legs, running round all four sides for strength. The rush is woven and tied by hand, and the bench is rated to hold 250 lbs. At 19 inches high it lines up with a standard dining chair, and at 15 lbs it is easy to carry wherever it is needed.
Pull it up to a dining table as an extra seat when friends arrive, or slide it beneath a console in an entry as a place to sit and pull on boots. It also suits the end of a dressing table or a spot by the fire. This listing is for one bench.
