An English Turned Mahogany Bench with Chintz Upholstered Seat. United Kingdom, 20th Century.
Provenance: Of the collectors Catherine Cahill, who is now deceased, and William L. Bernhard, who continues to live in their Park Avenue home in Manhattan. Lifelong New Yorkers, they passed the summers in Southampton and Washington, Connecticut, and the winters in Palm Beach, where Ms. Cahill decorated their retreat on Major Alley Way with the noted interior designer, the late Keith Irvine of Irvine and Fleming.
