[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

This gothic bench is an extremely long seat able to sit several people.<\/p>\n

The bench is one of the oldest seats whose origin is lost in the mists of time.<\/p>\n

This seat reached the height of its glory during the 14th century.<\/p>\n

It started off as a simple plank resting on four legs and it was afterwards embelished with a chest at its base, becoming an archebanc. Then on each side the armrests were put up and finally a back was created.<\/p>\n

The arkbench that we present here, particularly long, remains very simple in its ornamentation made of panels sculpted in folds of parchment, grooved into the frame.<\/p>\n

The four vertical panels of the backrest correspond to the square-sectioned panels located on the front of the chest.<\/p>\n

Finally, surmounting the long upper crossbar, two uprights, one of which is crowned by a lion, frame a beautiful openwork frieze carved with foliage.<\/p>\n

The lower section, forming a chest, is closed by a drop-leaf door fitted with wrought iron hinges and secured by an original hasp lock.<\/p>\n

On each side, the ark bench is finished with a straight armrest.<\/p>\n

This very rare piece of furniture is in a good state of preservation.<\/p>\n
