{"product_id":"mid-19th-century-french-provincial-oak-hall-bench","title":"Mid 19th Century French Provincial Oak Hall Bench","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"89\" data-end=\"182\"\u003eA substantial mid 19th century French Provincial oak hall bench, sourced in Provence, France. Crafted from solid oak, the bench features a thick plank seat supported by trestle-form legs joined by an H-form stretcher with a central support, giving it a grounded, architectural presence. The turned uprights and finials draw from the Louis XIII tradition, while the overall execution remains distinctly provincial — practical, robust, and made for daily use. The backrest is mounted on its original hinges, allowing it to pivot so the bench can be used from either side - a traditional and functional design often found in French country homes. Structurally revised for stability and prepared in our workshop, the piece has been carefully cleaned and waxed, highlighting a rich, naturally aged patina with visible grain, knots, and surface variation throughout. Pegged joinery and hand-worked elements are evident across the frame. Structurally sound and sturdy, with wear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"481\" data-start=\"203\"\u003e- Origin: Provence, France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"481\" data-start=\"203\"\u003e- Period: Mid 19th Century \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"481\" data-start=\"203\"\u003e- Materials: Oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"481\" data-start=\"203\"\u003e- Dimensions: W 91\" x D 23.88\" x H 35.75\"; Arm height: 31.5\"; Seat dimensions: W 84.75\" x D 10\" x H 17.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"481\" data-start=\"203\"\u003e- Condition: \u003cspan\u003eGood antique condition; structurally revised, with wear consistent with age and use, including surface variation and minor signs of age throughout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Structurally sound and ready for use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"StandoutSpaces","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51640639095101,"sku":null,"price":6800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0419\/8491\/7662\/files\/Mid19thCenturyFrenchProvincialOakHallBench5.png?v=1777307570","url":"https:\/\/standoutspaces.com\/products\/mid-19th-century-french-provincial-oak-hall-bench","provider":"StandoutSpaces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
