Item Details

1940’s French Long Stamped Church Bench. Classic formed and steamed bent bench made in France. The process of steam bending beech to create elegant furniture was discovered and developed by Thonet, but when its patents expired in 1869 many companies including Fischel launched production. Fischel was founded in 1871 by Czech born David Gabriel Fischel, a successful vegetable oil merchant, using the first hand knowledge of his eldest son who had worked in one of Thonets Czech factories. First production was made in Germany in Niemes near the Danube. Later production moved to France in Alsace and sales offices were opened in most major French cities as Fischel became a major chair producer. The bench does not have a makers mark but we believe it to be Fischel. These bench dates from the 1940’s, a classic shape with a rich colour and character and a curved organic form with rich stamped detail. Although not stamped with Fischel, we are confident it is. Our workshop has cleaned and serviced the bench it is stable and comfortable.
