Curved Bench
Woodworker: Gerald Curry
In order to give himself the leeway to develop a sense of his own style, Curry has built almost exclusively on speculation since forswearing reproductions in 2000. This bench was an exception. It was commissioned to provide seating in front of a fireplace. It has no direct period antecedents as a form, but Curry says the crossed stretchers were inspired by stretchers he likes on small tables of the early 19th century.
