Reclaimed Mid Century Small Church Pew Hallway Bench 2704j
Sold Out
A beautifully designed and handcrafted, original, mid century church pew / bench.
– Excellent restored condition
Unlike the majority of more traditional church furniture, this delightful pew features a stunning and unique mid century design. The pew is constructed from a combination of solid beech and sapele woods, which contrast beautifully. The design of these pews is superb, with beautifully splayed out legs which taper into a single form to the top, crafted from a single piece of solid beech. The seat is crafted from two pieces of solid sapele with a lovely rounded front edge.
These pews would work equally well in a residential home, placed in a hallway or used as seating in a kitchen or dining area. They would also be fantastic statement seating in a commercial environment, such as a bar or restaurant (we do have a number of these pews available at the time of listing, please get in touch if you interested in a larger quantity).
We reclaimed these pews from Hearsall Baptist Church in Earlsdon, Coventry, alongside additional complimentary pieces that share the same striking leg/base design. The church was erected in 1960 and was built using a striking mid century architectural design. (We have more information on this if required) This pew follows the same mid century aesthetic, which is very unusual for church furniture.
There is a fascinating insight into the construction of these very pews, alongside the opening of the new Church in the movie linked here - the footage of the pews begins at 7 mins 30 seconds.
This pew is in excellent restored condition, there are some polished in marks and blemishes, as to be expected for its age. Comes complete with brand new seat cushion, reconstituted foam insert and upholstered in a gorgeous boucle fabric which meets current domestic safety fire regulations. Please see the photos for more details.
