Bench - Wood, Oak

Original Italian antique chest made of solid wood, dating from the late 19th century to the early decades of the 20th century.

The furniture features a solid structure with paneling in a square pattern on the front and carved decorations with a vegetal motif on the vertical supports. The lid is hinged and internally divided with an original central compartment, a characteristic typical of antique chests intended for linen or household objects.

The chest rests on original shaped feet and features an authentic patina, never stripped, which attests to its age and use over time. The interior is consistent with the period and retains its original surfaces.

The furniture is structurally sound, stable, and intact. Normal signs of age, scratches, and superficial wear are present, consistent with its age, confirming its authenticity. No invasive modern restorations are evident.

Ideal as both a storage chest and a decorative bench, suitable for classic or rustic environments.
