{"product_id":"chinese-antique-spring-bench-1","title":"Chinese Spring Bench From Shanxi Province - 19thC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis elegant late 19th century Chinese spring bench originates from Shanxi Province in Northern China. Traditionally placed outside shops, tea houses and small restaurants, these long benches provided a welcoming place for staff, customers and passers-by to rest, converse and enjoy the fresh air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from solid elm, this particularly long example has spent much of its life exposed to the elements, leaving it with a beautifully sun-bleached finish that highlights the striking natural grain of the timber. The thick, single-plank seat has developed a wonderfully textured surface over more than a century, while the simple Ming style brackets beneath the top add a restrained decorative detail typical of Northern Chinese furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts understated design and soft, weathered tones allow it to sit effortlessly within both contemporary and traditional interiors. Whether placed alongside a long dining table, beneath a window or in a spacious hallway, this bench brings authentic history, warmth and character to any setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shanxi Province, Northern China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elm wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional extra-long Chinese spring bench, beautifully sun-bleached elm, thick single-plank seat, cloud-shaped apron brackets, exceptional natural patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with age-related wear, weathering, surface marks and historic repairs consistent with over a century of outdoor and domestic use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W187 x D25 x H48 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53550942388533,"sku":"C2402","price":558.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Antique_Chinese_Bleached_Spring_Bench_C2402.jpg?v=1789232607","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/chinese-antique-spring-bench-1","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
