Exceptional Huge English Wrought Iron Regency Tree Bench, CA 1820
We have never seen a Regency Tree Bench as large and impressive as this one, in spite of the professional restorations that we estimate are about 20 years old. In two parts that easily bolt together, it has a fabulous faded black patina with lots of lichen and a bit of surface rusting. All the feet have been professionally replaced, along with a small section of the back (the iron is a slightly larger gauge than the original) and a few slats on the seat. Large enough to complement a majestic tree, it also looks wonderful standing alone as in the photos. Please note that the two parts do not exactly line up (see photos of the joints) but this does not detract from its beauty or utility. Feel free to leave this outside year-round and uncovered as it will only become more beautiful over time.
