A circular bench made to wrap around the trunk of a tree, in the tradition of French parks and château gardens. With a diameter of 180 cm, it creates a shaded meeting point and turns a single tree into the centrepiece of the garden.
Like the 19th-century Arras originals, it stands on hoof feet, and it is hand-forged and assembled with manual riveting, the techniques used for the original Arras pieces. Looking for a genuine antique? See our Vintage Arras Tree Bench.
Tree benches were one of the speciality pieces of the Arras ironworks, including the Saint-Sauveur factory, and original examples are among the most prized Arras antiques today.
Painted to order in any RAL Classic colour, included in the price. For pieces that stay outdoors all year, choose hot-dip galvanisation: the iron is dipped in molten zinc, which gives long-term protection against rust.
Handmade to order
Every piece is forged, riveted and finished by hand in our family workshop, where three generations of blacksmiths have worked since the 1950s. Bespoke sizes, larger quantities for hotels, restaurants and event venues, and trade pricing are available. Contact us for a quote.
Materials
Hand-forged wrought iron. The Arras and Grassin models stand on cast-iron feet.
Colours
Every piece is painted to order in any RAL Classic colour, included in the price.
Galvanisation
Hot-dip galvanisation means dipping the finished piece in molten zinc, which forms a protective layer against rust. It is the most effective long-term protection for furniture that stays outdoors all year.
