Shandong Elm Bench

This antique Shandong elm bench, dating back around 150 years, embodies the raw, organic character of rural northern Chinese craftsmanship. Hewn from solid elm with a beautifully irregular, timeworn surface, it has a sculptural simplicity that feels both rustic and modern. Short, sturdy legs and a thick slab top give the piece a grounded presence, making it ideal as a hallway perch, display bench, or sculptural accent that brings natural texture and authenticity into any space.
