mahogany monk's bench/hall bench

Circa 1910, unusual mahogany monk's bench/hall bench. The 3 panelled back has egg and dart beading at the top, and at the sides protrude 2 shaped and curved arms held in place by turned balustrades. The seat is hinged and opens to reveal an uninterrupted interior. There is also a squab cushion for the seat. At the front and sides are fielded panels with a beaded frame and beneath this there are various mouldings. The whole piece stands on block feet at the back and slightly spread feet at the front. The bench has good colour and patination and is very sturdy with nice wear on the end of the arms.

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.
