Norwegian Bench ca 1790-1830s

Long Norwegian Folk Art Bench ca 1790-1830s

This is truly a beautiful bench from Norway, with a thickness and width make it distinctive, complemented by its smooth patina.

In the 1920s to 1940s, a small box was added to it, which adds to its over all character and history.

It could possibly have been part of a longer church pew bench.

Made of pine wood.
