About the Item

This backless sofa or settee is from the Swedish Gustavian period with carved details and fluted tapered feet. Please enlarge and examine the close up photos to appreciate the carved details. Note that painted finish was applied later, likely around the 1940's-60's and is now peeling, including the top of arms. Upholstered seat, three large back cushions and two side cushions included. The fabric is worn and dated, buyer may opt to keep or simply re-upholster. Restored, this bench is solid, stable and ready to be used and enjoyed.
