About the Item

Painted white with gold accents, this antique Gustavian bench has a removeable cushion seat and open back. Architectural elements such as turned spindles create the sides and carved panels along the front add to the visual intrigue of this captivating bench. Please enlarge the detailed photos to appreciate the aged, worn patina and Egyptian figural heads that adorn the front. The bench seat is removeable as seen in the photos. This bench is solid, stable and ready to be used but has not been restored. As the original fabric is still in place, the buyer will likely choose to re-upholster. Crackles and distress to the paint are reflections of generations of use that add to the character of this lovely bench. ** In light of current affairs and fluctuating fuel prices shipping quotes and timelines are estimates only. Buyer is required to notify us upon purchase if there are interior or exterior stairs, steps, or freight elevators necessary to complete delivery. Firm shipping costs will be provided upon confirmation of delivery information. **
