Verdigris Cast Iron Outdoor Dog Bench

Comfortable, beautiful, and robust, this victorian style cast iron outdoor bench pairs timeless design with layered history. Made in India, it faithfully echoes the ornate Coalbrookdale style benches of Victorian England. The sculptural side panels and backrest€”featuring a spirited dog at the centre€”are cast from dense iron, originally intended as ballast in returning trade ships.

A softly weathered verdigris finish gives the piece a gentle patina, complementing the natural tones of its solid wooden slats. At once nostalgic and enduring, it makes a striking counterpoint to contemporary garden furniture€”ideal for adding character and comfort to a quiet corner or sunlit terrace.
