Cast Iron "Rustic" Pattern Garden Bench

Cast Iron "Rustic" Pattern Garden Bench

late 19th/early 20th century, molded as oak leaves, branches, tendrils and acorns, with open arms, turning branch seat and like stretchers.
h. 32", w. 48-1/4", d. 19"

Notes: This pattern was introduced in the UK by the mid-19th century and commonly produced by American foundries through the 19th century.
Condition Report: **The bench is tight at the joints, sturdy and stable. Of bolt-together construction. Surface oxidation throughout. There is a break to one arm rest, near its juncture with the back. It appears to remain functional as-is with only a very small amount of movement in the arm when pressed firmly.
