Here for sale is this lovely old vintage reversible railway bench. I'm not totally sure of the age , possibly early 20th Century, possibly antique.
When we bought it , it had been varnished quite nastily so we stripped it back to its lovely golden Pitch Pine colour whilst maintaining all the signs of use and wear , patina and age. We then waxed it with several coats of natural wax to bring ot the great colour however should you want to use it outside you may need to rethink the finish.
The seat has lovely grain and the bench really looks the part.
We left the varnish on the underside to protect it and you don't see it when the bench is positioned.
This bench did have some signs of historic woodworm on one edge of the seat and the underside however it was treated with several coats of cuprinol prior to waxing.
The iron work is sturdy and the back rest was reattached with new screws however when reversing the bench care is needed as its not designed to take too much abuse.
One leg had a little bit of rotten wood on the base of the foot but agin this was treated and hardened. ( see pics ) Its now sturdy and strong.
We reccommend this is an indoor bench and would look great in a bar or restaurant ot large kitchen / dining room.
