benchmark. Ingrained in Indian culture since ancient times, the craft of woodworking embodies a rich sense of history. To this day, the skill of the badhi (carpenter) is taught father to son in patrilineal tradition, assuring the trade will thrive for generations.
Dating back up to 30 years, these vintage handcrafted benches offer a snapshot of a bygone era, gathered from rural carpentry sites, schools and roadside dhabas (rest stops) throughout India. Simple in construction, they were perhaps the most important tool of carpenters who planed and shaped rough cuts of wood into refined objects of art, large and small—from impressive doorways and intricate handicrafts to basic furniture for everyday living.
Hewn from solid teak or mango wood—regional timbers noted for their strength and heft—each bench is unique, with natural weathering, splitting and knots inherent to the wood species. Occasional traces of paint and exposed hardware may be present, adding to the distinct "as found" character of each piece.
Due to the uniqueness of each piece, we are not able to guarantee the specific size or characteristics of the bench you will receive.
