Large Elm Bench

Beijing, circa 1900
Benches were used in China particularly for seating at musical or theatrical performances. This bench is in elm wood with a rattan inlay set flush into the seat. The original dark lacquer has worn away showing the natural colour of the wood beneath. The bench is fairly plain in style, with no carvings around the apron. It would be ideal today placed against a wall or even used with a dining table.
