Swedish 18th century Gustavian style settee/banquette with its original hand-scraped & painted finish over the carved pine frame. The solid construction makes for a sheltering sofa as well, with striking decorative details on the back as two rosettes carved in low-relief to accentuate the double-camelback rise. To the sides are low arms that slope down toward the front, mounted with sugarloaf domed finials. The removable bench seat cushion stuffed with firm horsehair is currently wrapped in a neutral muslin (that shows a few areas of staining) which is meant to be temporary until its next home where a more fitting material can be selected. Lifting up the seat platform reveals the hidden storage underneath, perfect for halls and entryways. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition or reach out directly with any questions.
Seat dimensions: 23” H x 68” W x 21 ½” D
