This bamboo-turned Windsor bench, with cherry arms and poplar construction, was likely built in Pennsylvania around 1820.  The large single board seat and delicate turned legs give a fine presentation.

WHY WE LOVE IT: Windsor furniture has always been a mainstay in American design. This example, with its bamboo turnings, elegant, curved back and rich patina stands out.
