Painted Pine Folk Art Hall Bench with Tulips in Red & Blue

An eye-catching folk art painted and carved box bench, beautifully decorated with bold floral motifs including tulips, carnations, and delicate blue forget-me-nots. Richly coloured and full of character, it makes a striking decorative piece while remaining highly practical. Dating from the early 20th century, the bench was sympathetically restored and repainted around 30 years ago, preserving its traditional appearance and vibrant folk character. With its slim proportions and useful lift-up storage compartment, it is particularly well suited to a hallway, providing convenient space for shoes and everyday items. Seat height: 50cm Hungary, c.1900, restored c.1990
