benches

Dog & Serpent

Reproduced by Lost Art to match an original Coalbrookdale Foundry design. An excellent example of the Victorian tradition of decorative and figurative art with symbolic aspects. The castings feature both stylised elements along with the features of a dog’s head, a coiled serpent and a bunch of grapes. Produced and installed by Lost Art in a number of heritage locations, the bench can be produced to virtually any length and we offer the inclusion of seating and back slats in either timber or cast iron to match the 19th century versions.

A particularly historic design from the Coalbrookdale , as it was the second oldest design that they registered – on 6th of April 1844. The design of the cast iron supports incorporates hound head terminals to the arms and an entwined serpent within the stylised elements of the frame, which contains further naturalistic representations, including a bunch of grapes.

The bench is available from Lost Art with either timber slats to the bench or cast iron and we have supplied both styles to a number of heritage restoration projects as well as private gardens. The nature of the bench supports means that the bench can be extended to virtually any length required or could be included in the design of a circular or hexagonal tree seat.
