benches
Passion Flower
Beautiful stylised buds, tendrils and the distinctive petals are contained within the flowing curves of the cast iron supports. An exceptional example of the art of the decorative output of the Victorian foundries, from the period where design aesthetics were replacing straightforward representation.
Despite the aesthetic appeal of the castings, the supports are robust and are paired with substantial shaped and chamfered hardwood timbers, offering distinctive and attractive seating suitable for public spaces.
As the castings are not ‘handed’ (i.e. they are the same at both ends of the bench, rather than being specifically for the right or left end of the bench) this means that multiple castings can be included in any bench and can therefore made to any length that a client requires.
The accompanying images show both the completed bench plus the same bench during the process of production, using traditional materials and techniques.
