Bench - Oak - Neo-Gothic cloister plan - 47 cm

Exceptionally sturdy Gothic Revival monastery stove bench (stool) made of solid oak, crafted around 1880. The piece is notable for the beautiful, intricate tracery on the longitudinal sides and the practical grip groove on the top.
Dimensions: Width 47 cm, Depth 26 cm, Height 18 cm
Provenance (Historical origin):
The object comes directly from the household liquidation of the traditional Ursuline convent St. Angela in Osnabrück in January 2026. It is in untouched, uncleaned original condition with a deeply ingrained, authentic monastery patina (subtle, characteristic scent of wood and incense).
Condition & Details:
• Wood substance: Solid oak wood, absolutely stable ("jointed in the square"), dry-stored and guaranteed free of woodworm. Fully load-bearing. When placed down, a time-typical, minimal tapping of the original top panel can be heard.
• Defects: Unrestored original condition. No missing parts in the carvings. At the underside, two of the hand-made mounting pegs are aged/fractured, which, however, does not compromise the excellent stability and firm stance. The surface shows authentic signs of use and stains from decades of monastery use.
A genuine piece of untouched time history for collectors of sacred art and fine antiques!
