The Sovereign Bench™ – Heritage Reimagined Through Craftsmanship
The Sovereign Bench™ by Oxford Planters is a distinguished piece of bespoke outdoor furniture, inspired by the historic Langdale Seat designed by the famed Mawson brothers, who were iconic visionaries of early 20th-century garden design. Commissioned alongside our renowned Dyffryn Bench™ and Polesden Bench™ for the National Trust, this bench represents the very best of British craftsmanship, heritage design, and timeless luxury.
Inspired by Tradition, Crafted for Today
Reinterpreting classic Edwardian form for the modern garden, the Sovereign Bench™ blends architectural balance with handcrafted beauty. Each bench is made to order in our Oxfordshire workshop, using traditional mortice-and-tenon joinery for enduring strength and authenticity. Every element is shaped and finished by hand, embodying the precision and artistry that define Oxford Planters’ luxury garden furniture.
Truly-Bespoke Craftsmanship
The Sovereign Bench™ can be crafted with hand-selected FSC-accredited hardwoods Oak or Iroko which will weather beautifully to a natural silver over time. For a more contemporary look, the bench can made out of exceptionally durable Accoya hardwood and spray-coated in your choice of colour. As with all Oxford Planters designs, the Sovereign Bench™ can be custom-made to any size, ensuring a truly bespoke creation that reflects your individual vision.
Comfort, Elegance, and Detail
While bold in form, the Sovereign Bench™ retains absolute comfort through its gently curved seat, sloping backrest, and subtly contoured arms. Decorative ball finials and raised panelling frame the back, adding a sense of proportion and sophistication that elevates it beyond ordinary garden seating. Every detail reflects the luxury and refinement expected of handcrafted British outdoor furniture.
A Statement of Heritage and Distinction
More than simply a place to sit, the Sovereign Bench™ is a statement of design, heritage, and permanence. Whether placed in a formal garden, a private courtyard, or a historic estate, it enhances its surroundings with quiet authority and elegance. Each bench exemplifies heritage reimagined, crafted to endure and inspire for generations to come.
