Inspiration: Aged Iron Benches

This antique iron bench from The Brass Peacock (notice the griffin heads on either arm rest!) got me thinking, ‘what happened to good, solid, American-made iron benches?’  Not that dislike wood, but one doesn’t often see intricate carvings and motifs carved into wood the way one sees beautiful iron work.

Looking around online, I came across many beautiful benches.  Here are my tops:
