This exquisite antique settee is a masterclass in Neoclassical design, featuring a graceful scroll-arm silhouette characteristic of the early 19th-century Federal style. Adorned with a weathered, hand-painted green finish, the piece exudes a sought-after "shabby chic" elegance that highlights its storied past and fine craftsmanship. The hand-woven rush seat remains intact, providing a tactile, organic contrast to the sweeping curves of the frame. A notable inset brass plaque commemorates Israel Cope (1770–1855), a significant historical figure from Philadelphia, rooting this piece in a rich American heritage.
Perfectly sized for a grand entryway, gallery, or positioned at the foot of a bed, this settee includes a custom-fitted pink floral cushion with matching bolsters for an added layer of classic comfort. The piece measures 81.25" wide by 15.25" deep with a total height of 32.5". It remains in remarkable antique condition, with the painted surface exhibiting heavy, authentic distress. This wear acts as a beautiful patina that adds immense historical character and soulful charm to the bench. Acquire this rare example of early American-influenced design to serve as a distinctive focal point in your collection.
