Genuine Antique Carved Oak Monk’s Bench Settle Storage Seat Hall Bench

A stunning traditional genuine antique (1900-1920) oak monks bench featuring intricate carved decoration, a lift-up seat and generous hidden storage underneath.

The bench has a wonderfully warm honey-coloured oak finish, with elaborate carved detailing throughout. The backrest features a particularly attractive central heraldic-style floral and urn design, while the front is decorated with scrolling foliage and a central carved rosette.

The substantial carved arms and shaped supports add to the impressive appearance of the piece.

Lift the seat and you have a large, useful storage compartment — making this not only an attractive piece of furniture but also a very practical addition to a hallway, entrance, living room, boot room or country-style interior.
