PAIR OF TIMELESS OAK BENCHES FROM A GERMAN COURTHOUSE, 1960S
These two authentic wooden benches originate from a courtroom in the Cologne District Court and were crafted in the 1960s. Their design is defined by clean lines and minimalist elegance—each with a solid oak seat and backrest resting on a sturdy frame with three plain legs, embodying the functional character of mid-century institutional furniture. The aged oak wood on both benches carries a rich history. Carved initials and dates etched into the surfaces hint at countless personal stories, emotional moments, and the solemn atmosphere of the courtroom across the decades.
Both benches have been carefully cleaned and newly waxed, preserving their patina while ensuring they are ready for decades of continued use.
A rare set of original German legal heritage, these benches make a bold statement in modern interiors. Ideal for living rooms, studios, or creative workspaces, they combine history with timeless design and adapt easily to a variety of settings.
