Lot 948: A Late Victorian Folding Wooden Cricket Bench
A late Victorian folding wooden cricket bench of utilitarian construction. The bench features a slatted backrest and seat, designed with a manual folding mechanism that allows the unit to collapse for storage or transport. The frame is built from rectangular-section timber, likely a stained softwood such as pine, held together with metal pivot points and hinges. The backrest is composed of three horizontal slats, while the seat is formed of two larger boards. Adhered to the front of the backrest is a white rectangular paper label with handwritten text in black ink reading 1898 FOLDING CRICKET BENCH. The overall design is typical of late 19th-century sports pavilion or garden furniture, prioritising portability and robust outdoor use.
