"Rare Solid Walnut Bench, Renaissance Style – Late 19th Century"
Rare solid walnut bench, characterized by its high back and its Renaissance sculptures. It rests on 4 sets of curule-shaped feet, sculpted with acanthus leaves, ending in claw feet connected by a bar. On the front, 3 crosspieces connecting the feet are decorated with a slight carving as well as on the sides. The backrest part is made up of 2 identical elements and a wider central one. The uprights forming a separation are decorated with plant motifs and topped with grotesque heads. The seat is traditional with spring and horsehair straps, covered in an ecru upholstered canvas. This elegant piece of furniture with its elongated seat and high back has the charm of Renaissance furniture. ******** Period: Late 19th century Perfect condition after restoration in our workshop (gluing, squaring and patina before upholstery work) Waxed finish.
