late george iii oak hall bench

Circa 1800, late George III oak hall bench. The solid oak bench has a flat back with 4 fielded panels with a stylish top section. Between each one there is a rectangular upright with a chamfered edge and the peg dowels can be seen holding the uprights in position to the top rail. At each end there are 2 simple oak struts that are mortised into the back that come out with a slight dip and finish with a half round. They are held in position at the front by a turned upright. At the seat there are 2 panelled sections in quarter sawn oak. The section between them is again held in place by visible peg joints. The 3 back legs are square and sturdy joined by a long but simple stretcher. At the front there are 3 cabriole legs with quarter blocks, again with peg dowels where they have been joined to the main frame, finishing with a stylised foot. There are turned stretchers between the front and back legs with a lovely colour and patination. The bench is a good size, great colour, and sturdy.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
