Completely original with gorgeous aged
wear and patina on this beautiful bench / trundle bed.
Referred to as a "kökssoffa" (Kitchen sofa / couch). The
early paint is to die for. Layers of old paint, Robins egg
blue over a Seafoam green.
This Swedish Gustavian piece dates to approx. 1850s - 70s.
Used more than likely as a bench in a farmhouse kitchen and
used as a pull-out bed for the house servant or guests. Seat
lifts up for storage and front pulls out as seen in the
photos. Great old worn patina.
This piece would be a welcome addition to any primitive
home, in a kitchen nook, entryway etc.
Height: 37 in
Width: 79.5 in
Depth: 25.25 in
The bench was constructed with mortise and tenon joinery and
functions as it should. Very sturdy. This is showing wear
consistent with age and minor paint loss throughout that
adds to it's beauty. This will have to be a local pickup or
the use of your carrier.
Please be sure to have your questions answered prior to
making your purchase.
Thanks for looking.
