Solid Pinewood Bench originating from a former Monastery

A long solid-wood bench of French monastic origin, featuring a plank seat set on trestle supports with a single stretcher. The visible joinery, direct construction, and traces of use emphasize its practical function and the quiet, enduring craftsmanship associated with monastic furniture. Its proportions are notably slender: the seat depth is 27.5 cm, while the leg depth is 29.5 cm, meaning the legs extend 1 cm beyond the seat on each side. Vintage condition with wear and small marks consistent with age and use.
