Can anyone identify this Bench?
Can anyone help me identify this wooden bench? We bought it from a specialty store roughly 20 years ago but it was unclear if the bench was old or not at the time of purchase. There is a small tag on the back that says "made in Indonesia".
Just trying to see if this has any value or if we should just toss it. Thank you for any help!

Re: Can anyone identify this Bench?
I can't identify it, but that's a pretty nicely crafted settee, I would not toss it.
I wonder if its teak underneath? Looks like it has been re-varnished or stained and poly'ed at some point. If it is real teak, that bench is easily with $ 1,000 stripped down to its natural wood finish.

Interesting, thank you for the info. How would you know if it's teak?

If this was made for outdoor use, then it probably is Teak, plus Indonesia does a considerable about of teak furniture building. The staining and possible top coating make it too hard to identify from photos.
