Please note that the original small bottom casters have been completely removed, causing the piece to sit squarely and securely on its intact, hand-carved ball-and-claw feet. The framework exhibits some natural signs of age, including a historic hairline separation along the upper-left crest rail joint and clean, age-consistent grain separations within the delicate openwork side panels; none of these affect the overall structural stability of the settee. Minor, localized historic stabilization is present, including a few small vintage nails visible upon close inspection near the outer framework edges (top left and lower left upholstery junctions). The striped textile remains remarkably crisp, clean, and beautifully preserved. less
