Elegant carved painted storage bench sourced from John Rosselli Antiques, New York, reflecting a refined neoclassical / Gustavian revival aesthetic, likely dating to the mid-20th century decorative antiques trade when European-inspired painted furnishings were widely produced for sophisticated interiors.
The bench features classical carved ornament including stylized rosettes, foliate motifs, and fluted legs, all finished in a softly distressed painted surface that evokes Swedish Gustavian and continental neoclassical precedents. The proportions and carving suggest a decorative atelier or European export piece rather than strict period 18th-century furniture, but with excellent decorative authenticity.
The hinged upholstered top opens to reveal divided interior storage, making it equally functional as seating, bedroom storage, or an entry hall accent.
The cushion has been newly upholstered in Robert Kime “St Abbs” fabric, a distinguished English textile known for its historic pattern inspiration and understated country-house elegance. The textile pairs beautifully with the aged painted finish, adding warmth and refinement.
