The frame has recently been repainted and gilt refreshed. Layers of old paint are visible in certain areas. A couple of tiny breaks to caning are on the side edges but are barely visible and don’t effect the integrity of the bench. A new removable cotton leopard padded cushion has been added for extra presence. Quite a striking little bench. See less
