The frame is ebonized with hand-applied gilt accents, showcasing elegant lines and restrained ornamentation typical of the English Regency era.

The double-back design features two inset hand-painted neoclassical panels in muted grisaille tones, depicting an idyllic pastoral scene with figures, animals, and a central urn—an homage to classical antiquity. Gold-painted foliate motifs continue along the crest rail and frame, adding warmth and contrast to the rich black finish.

The seat is finely hand-caned and remains taut and intact. Gracefully curved arms and turned legs with gilt banding complete the sophisticated silhouette.

This bench blends timeless historical style with the craftsmanship of a high-end late 20th-century designer reproduction. Ideal for an entryway, under a window, or as a decorative accent at the foot of a bed. See less
