Garden furniture has become more admired in recent years as more people have patios and decks.
By the 1800s, furniture frequently was used in the garden. Large estates may have chairs or benches in distant spots on which guests can relax or gossip.
This furniture was completed to blend in with the greenery. Pieces were frequently made from iron shaped like vines or branches. Carved marble benches were used by the affluent, while rough log benches were used by others.
Soon, potters started creation replicas of tree stumps or trimmed branches that can be used for seats.
