This is a very rare and ornate museum quality antique Victorian wicker photographer's bench. The crest is quite elaborate and shapely. Circles and curlicues cascade along the crest, forming the arm. There is a central pinwheel design and bead-decorated curlicues, along with fancy leaf-designs incorporated into the back. Intricate ribbon and loop-designs adorn the back and full skirting. The skirting is finished off with a fancy panel of latticework.

| The set in cane seat has been replaced and will be stained a similar color to match the color of the wicker. Cane-wrapped cabriole legs end in brass caps. This photographer's bench retains the original natural finish and the original Wakefield Rattan Co. label. We have never seen this antique Victorian wicker photographer's bench in photos, books, or in person, so we regard this as an extremely rare and collectable photographer's prop. Circa 1880's. |
