“Banco” / Brasil / Século XVIII

This rare 18th-century Brazilian bench, crafted from solid vinhático wood, is a striking example of colonial furniture design. Its gracefully scalloped backrest and skirt reflect the vernacular charm of rural Brazilian estates, where handcrafted pieces merged rustic function with decorative artistry. The joinery and structure remain remarkably intact, testifying to the skill of the period’s master artisans. The warm hue and natural patina of the vinhático wood highlight the bench’s noble character, while the bold silhouette adds presence and personality to any interior. Ideal for collectors and decorators who appreciate authentic colonial heritage, this bench is not just a seat — it is a living artifact of Brazil’s 18th-century craftsmanship.
