Item #6160, English Wire Garden Bench

Design History

Our Victorian Wire collection features designs inspired by the formal garden furniture and ornamental products that were introduced in France and England during the Victorian period. One of the technological advances that resulted from the Industrial Revolution was the use of wire in the decorative arts and furniture. By the middle of the 19th century, wire was used to make tables, etageres, jardinieres, and garden chairs. These elegant designs have remained popular since their introduction and can be found in homes and gardens around the world.
