Description
Please read the full description carefully, as we are dedicated to providing detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. This is an elegant and refined pair of Italian benches, crafted from solid wood painted black with a high-gloss finish that highlights the intricate decorative carvings on the sides and crossbars. These richly adorned and distinctive details evoke classical floral motifs and volutes, typical of Baroque and Neo-Renaissance styles, suggesting a historical origin between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specifically from 1890 to 1910, a time when Italy experienced a revival of past artistic styles. The seats are upholstered in high-quality, light-colored linen fabric, accented by a thick central strip of black velvet. This recent restoration was expertly carried out by a seasoned craftsman from Prato, who skillfully and precisely applied the new upholstery. This detail adds a touch of contemporary elegance, making the benches versatile enough to complement both classic and modern interiors.
The creation of this pair can be traced to Tuscany, particularly to a cabinet-making workshop in the Pistoia area. Pistoia was renowned for producing elegant, finely crafted furniture. The artisans of Pistoia were skilled in creating furniture with intricate inlays and harmonious lines, showcasing high-quality craftsmanship and often catering to noble families and prestigious residences.
The rich and sophisticated design of these benches is a testament to Italian artisanal excellence, celebrated for its attention to detail and use of premium materials. Pistoia, along with other Tuscan locales, contributed to establishing Tuscany's reputation as one of the foremost centers for artistic furniture production. The region's style blended Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical influences, resulting in unique and beautiful pieces. Our pair of benches is a fine example of this tradition. These benches are not merely decorative elements but genuine collector’s items that embody the authenticity and charm of the Italian furniture-making heritage. Ideal for furnishing an entryway, living room, or bedroom, they add an air of sophistication and refinement to any space. The benches have been fully restored and are in excellent condition. Measurements for each bench: width 48 cm, depth 43 cm, height 55 cm, seat height 49 cm. For all our shipments, we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) to ensure the utmost protection and safety of the items.
Seat Height: 19.3 in (49 cm)

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
