Reclaimed Mid Century Large Church Pew Bench 2704h
IN STOCK: Regular price £595.00
A beautifully designed and handcrafted, original, mid century church pew / bench.
– Excellent restored condition
Unlike the majority of more traditional church furniture, this delightful pew features a stunning and unique mid century design. The pew is constructed from a combination of solid beech and sapele woods, which contrast beautifully. The design of these pews is superb, with stunning splayed out legs which taper into a single form to the top, crafted from a single piece of solid beech. The seat is crafted from two pieces of solid sapele with a lovely rounded front edge.
These pews would work equally well in a residential home, placed in a hallway or used as seating in a kitchen or dining area. They would also create fantastic statement seating in a commercial environment, such as a bar or restaurant. Please note: we do have a number of these pews available at the time of listing, please get in touch if you interested in a larger quantity.
We reclaimed these pews from Hearsall Baptist Church in Earlsdon, Coventry, alongside additional complimentary pieces that share the same unique leg/base design. The church was erected in 1960 and was built using a striking mid century architectural design, which is echoed throughout the furniture that we salvaged.
