Description

Hand-Carved Painted Folk Art Bench – Cats & Floral Motifs

Rustic hand-carved and painted solid wood bench, richly decorated with figural cats, floral patterns, and geometric medallions in relief. The surface features a lively dotted polychrome finish in red, green, orange, and black, creating a vibrant folk art presence. With a scalloped crest rail, scrolling arms, and turned front supports, the bench reflects the creativity of vernacular craftsmanship while offering both decorative and functional appeal.

Though showing significant age and wear, the bench retains strong character and charm. It may be best suited for use as a garden bench, plant stand, or imaginative upcycling project, while also serving as a striking collector’s example of rustic painted folk furniture.

Condition
In fair condition overall, with paint loss, chipping, cracks, and areas of wood loss visible throughout. Supports show wear and weathering, including chewed elements. Despite these imperfections, the bench remains sturdy and stable, displaying with rustic authenticity.
