What I find really interesting here is the use of an abstract pattern (red wine coloured tiles) in the 18th century.Oeiras Palace gardens.
More old benches here.

a superb collection of old benches which you show us. Always nice mosaics
Another beautiful old bench. I love the curve of the scroll arms...as well as the beautiful tiles. Any chance oif a close up of one or two of the tiles on some of these benches?
It is gorgeous JM!
All of your photos are awsome and some of them remind me of Saint Julian's School!!
I agree. Very interesting.
Lovely tiles!
Do people still use the benches nowadays?
I agree, JM. It's fascinating to see the use of abstract pattern in that period. This is a beautiful shot.
Yes, Henny, these benches can still be used.
Old is beautiful. Nice picture.
Another beauty, I'm totally in love with those tiles:)
The tiles are so pretty! I am really enjoying these old benches.
Classy old bench.
Very good picture of that bench.
Beautiful tiles, and as Léia said, they deserve to be restored.
While it doesn't look very comfortable, it has a certain beauty, and shows some exquisite craftsmanship!
Your country uses tiles in such interesting ways!!
Classy place to sit.
Nice to see the serie !
How beautiful - I really can't get enough of your lovely tiles!
Agree with many of these comments, JM. Thoroughly enjoying the series, even though many of the benches would require a cushion! The workmanship is superb.
This is turning into a very interesting series JM. Keep them coming.
That is just stunning. One of the prettiest benches I have ever seen.
I lilke the straight formal lines of the bench against the curves. Lovely!!!!
