The structure of the Knebworth three seater garden bench is, as in the Knebworth
armchair, the same as the Chinoiserie and Slatted Collections. The arms and the
front under rails are the same. The back slats are however wide and spaced closely
together, each slat having a bead moulding on the sides of the front face.
Originally the Knebworth was designed as interior furniture for an Irish country
house, the benches and seats were used in a large kitchen and two tables were
designed with tops where the gaps between the slats in a standard garden table were
replaced with narrow strips of wood of a darker colour, resulting in a table with an
outside look, but practical for kitchen dining. The Knebworth garden seat has a
Victorian rural feel to it and is well suited to country cottages and woodland
glades.
