Late 19th Century English Victorian Oak Hall Seat Settee Bench
Dimensions : 57" Wide X 20" Deep X 44" Tall
Exceptional late-19th-century English carved oak hall bench in the Renaissance/Elizabethan Revival taste. The monumental paneled back features extraordinary deep-relief carving, including a central heraldic-style composition with opposing fantastical creatures, surrounded by scrolling foliage and architectural ornament. The flanking panels feature carved grotesque masks and elaborate foliate decoration.
The bench has beautifully carved scrolling arms, a substantial solid-oak seat, and two large carved lower panels decorated with acanthus, floral, and scrolling motifs. Heavy molded and fluted architectural elements complete the imposing design.
A particularly impressive example of Victorian historicist furniture, with exceptionally extensive and sculptural carving throughout. A spectacular statement piece for an entry hall, library, study, estate, or collector’s interior.
