Van Thiel & Co offers stunningly accurate antique replicas, which its artists meticulously hand craft, right down to the “imperfections.” Van Thiel is obsessive over the smallest detail of authenticity, from wear and tear to watermarks.
Graced by modern, solid construction, Van Thiel furniture achieves the distinctive character of the original pieces that inspired the collection. Though the company was originally focused on curating the best antiques from around the world, today its aesthetic is crisp and fresh.Bench-Made is a line of both hand-crafted and finished hardwood furniture. It’s highlighted by:
- Delicate accents
- Bronze and iron hardware
- Solid marble tops
- Subtle antiquing
- Hand-rubbed wax finishes
- Mastery of finishing procedures
- Uncanny replication of mature character, including claw marks from animals, tiny worm holes, variations in colors due to sun exposure, and random dents and dings
- Perfectly placed, hand-forged iron nails that complete the distinctive finish
