Antique bench / Refectory table in solid wood – 18th/19th century

Antique rustic bench in solid wood, likely of Italian manufacture, datable between the late 18th and the first half of the 19th century.

The object features a thick top with rounded edges from use, supported by robust trestle legs, typical of refectory tables or those found in conventual or rural settings.
The side features an original ring hardware, a functional and decorative element consistent with the period of creation.

The bench retains a beautiful original patina, with signs of age, small cracks, abrasions, and irregularities in the wood caused by age and use, which attest to its authenticity.
No invasive restorations are detected; the object is structurally stable.

Ideal as an entry bench, a seat for a rustic table, a decorative element for country, industrial, or wabi-sabi environments, or as a collectible piece.
