Condition Report
Very good vintage condition. The settee has been professionally refinished and fully re-upholstered. The solid beechwood frame has been carefully restored and finished with hand-applied, patinated gold leaf, highlighting the carved details while maintaining the integrity of the original structure.
The upholstery is new, including the burgundy velvet tufted back and arms, as well as the scenic silk-cotton blend seat fabric. Padding and support are clean, comfortable, and structurally sound.
As expected for a vintage piece from the 1950s, the frame may show minor surface marks, small imperfections, or light wear consistent with age and prior use. These subtle details contribute to the authentic character of the piece and do not detract from its overall appearance.
