Italian Carved Walnut Figural Bench

late 19th century, each shaped arm with scroll ends supported by a carved blackamoor perched over cabriole legs with foliate and volute carving at the knees and a carved masque at each foot, the seat upholstered in brocade.
h. 30", w. 33", d. 26"

In good "as found" condition. The surface exhibits rubbing and wear, most notably to the arms, normal shrinkage, wear and indications of age and use. There is some looseness at the junction of the legs and the seat rails. The stretchers are loose at a number of their joints. There are two pieces of missing molding at the bottom of the plinth a figure stands on, each about 3/8" high, 3-1/2" long, and 3/8" deep. The upholstery has a stain, presumably a water stain.
