benches

Yates and Haywood

Attractive, interesting and unusual, yet also substantial and robust. Dating from the final quarter of the 19th Century, the original benches were produced at the Effingham Works in Rotherham, Yorkshire.

In keeping with what was the house style of the foundry, the benches combine stylised natural shapes framed within geometric borders that, as with many of the designs of the time, are heavily influenced by the innovative work of Christopher Dresser and the Coalbrookdale Company.

The Yates and Haywood Company were largely focussed on domestic products rather than the more decorative aspects of cast-iron production. As they came late to this aspect of the market and production lasted for quite limited period, their bench designs are both of their time and quite distinctive.

For clients who wish to have something a little less ordinary and of great aesthetic and historical interest and value. Perhaps the perfect place to rest on the road less travelled?
