Pair of Curved Solid Siena Marble Benches

This distinguished pair of curved solid Siena marble benches hails from Italy, dating circa 1900. Reflecting refined Italian craftsmanship, these benches capture the timeless grace of early 20th-century European decorative arts.

Origin: Italy
Date: Circa 1900
Material: Solid Siena marble

Dimensions: Height: 45.5 cm (18 ins), Width: 182 cm (71.5 ins), Depth: 47.5 cm (19 ins)

Condition: Excellent condition; rich patina with minimal evidence of past use.

Drawing upon the elegance and luxury typical of Italian garden and villa accoutrements, this pair of marble benches references classical forms revered both in grand estates and public spaces of the period. Siena marble, prized for its warm golden veining, remains closely associated with prestigious interiors and exteriors, echoing examples found in prominent museums and historic residences. Their provenance from Steinway Pianos, New York, further adds to their exceptional appeal for collectors and connoisseurs of antique benches.

Notable Features:

  • Masterful craftsmanship evident in the precise curvature and seamless assembly of each bench.
  • The radiant, honey-toned Siena marble boasts striking natural patterning, showcasing Italy’s rich geological heritage.
  • Sculptural lines and gentle curves evoke neoclassical elegance and balance, reminiscent of antique Roman and Renaissance revival garden furnishings.
  • The benches’ impressive provenance, scale, and form underscore their rarity and desirability within the seating category for both private collectors and design professionals.

Both aesthetically striking and highly practical, this pair of curved solid Siena marble benches is perfect for indoor or outdoor display. Their elegance and enduring strength make them ideal as a focal point in a formal garden, grand hallway, or refined seating arrangement. As decorative benches with notable provenance and classical character, they offer lasting value and beauty for any sophisticated collection or distinguished setting.
