Unique early 20th century oak hall / dining bench

A rare and characterful early 20th century bench, dating from around 1920–1930. Made of solid oak with a beautifully detailed backrest featuring carved oak motifs and a strong steel frame for support. Originally likely used in a church or public hall, this versatile piece would make a striking hall bench or dining bench today. The bench has been professionally upholstered in a rich red ribbed velvet fabric, which is in excellent condition. Numbered on the reverse (23 / 24 / 25 / 26), adding to its authenticity and character.
