A 19th-century work bench from Portugal, made from chestnut wood.
The long, narrow form is defined by a heavily worn surface, old tool marks, openings, repairs, and natural irregularities in the wood. Its proportions make it suitable as a low bench, coffee table, or display piece.
The surface has a dry, textured patina that reflects its age and original use.
