Mid 16thC & Later English Oak Church Pew | West Country Provenance | Antique Ecclesiastical Bench
A rare find!
A 16thC and later (later = with 19thC alterations) English antique oak church pew.
Attributed to the West Country, one 16th Century pew end is heavily carved with a stylised beast over blind Gothic tracery which incorporates lancets. The other pew end is again 16th Century but of plain form.
The two ends are united by a combination of a 16th-century moulded rail over a 19th-century bench, which has been constructed from planks and shaped spandrels below.
Whether placed in a hallway, gallery, or quiet reading nook, it speaks of centuries of faith, craftsmanship, and continuity.
A bench that once bore the weight of prayer—now ready to anchor a new chapter in your collection.
Provenance: England. 16th century and later.
Condition of the pew: - as per the images. Surface wear is commensurate with age. A further detailed condition report is available upon request.
Size: Width 193 cm (76")
