In ancient China benches were low to the ground, but European influence brought higher designs in fashion during the Qing Dynasty. In homes at the time, most people sat on stools or chairs, while benches were often found in public theaters or temples. This 150-year-old elm wood bench is ideal for two people and has unique spandrels carved in the shape of the lucky ruyi symbol.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
