Bring the elegance of a Victorian Country Home to your garden with this sophisticated three-seater Lutyens styled Teak Garden Bench. Compact but surprisingly spacious, the Lutyens can comfortably seat up to three people. The arcs and twists of the bench's curved silhouette make it a piece that looks at once both traditional and enduringly contemporary. This example is finished in its natural state and aged to a perfectly patinated silvering that is the most desirable of all. Known as the 'Thakeham', this bench was designed for Little Thakeham, a West Sussex estate featuring a private house and gardens that was created by Sir Edwin Lutyens at the turn of the 20th century, and is now regarded as one of the architect's finest projects. Today, the bench remains popular and has become synonymous with Lutyens’s eye for structure, shape and scale. It is equally at home in the grounds of grand mansions and modest patios, and can be seen in gardens around the world, including several belonging to the National Trust. Sissinghurst Castle Garden in Kent is one of the most popular destinations and the property’s name has even become another moniker of this smart bench.
