Yellow Bench - vintage, lots of old dirt and wear. Nice lines.
After keeping it home (in my kitchen, on end) for several weeks I gave it a good cleaning and put in into my booth. There is absolutely no space anywhere in my home for this great piece of vintage furniture, and with winter rains and ice it couldn't be left outside.
The structure is great, love that authentic dirt!
I took several photos so that the structure could be copied by anyone with some skill in building furniture.
Same aged look as the 1950's Painted Drop Leaf Kitchen Table I posted about - and from the same estate, with 7 months in-between purchases.
Purpose built furniture.
Notice that the base/feet shapes are similar.
I am guessing the same person made the table and the bench.
There is nothing like homemade I really like the bench
ReplyDeleteGREAT bench!! I hope it finds a home who will love it for all it's worth!!
ReplyDeleteAnd it is worth a LOT!!!
Two great solid pieces! Too bad you can't keep the bench. I know how that goes though. We can't keep it all. Someone is going to get lucky at your booth!
ReplyDeleteHi, found this on Knick of Time! I love this bench. Too bad you can't keep it.

Isn't it fun to find stuff like this! Great bench.
ReplyDeleteThat could be a nice table for whatever purpose for someone who needs it. Too bad I'm not there! But then...where on earth would I put it???

What a great table! But I know what you mean about the no space. I'm going to have to clear out a few things myself, but I can't resist a great find!
ReplyDeleteYou, made a great find!

Love the bench! I am a sucker for any type of bench or stool. Thanx for joining THT!
ReplyDeleteYou will find just the right place for these. They are definitely vintage tables.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great bench.....It's a shame you cannot keep it.
ReplyDeleteJoy ... love that bench, well, I love almost all benches, but that one is really special and so well built. May just have to try to copy it. Could use that design for a sofa table too.
ReplyDeleteHope your days are just great and the weather is not to bad.
