18th century, Italian Rococo Lacquered and Gilt Wood Bench

About the Item

18th century, Italian Lacquered and Gilt Wood Bench This elegant bench in lacquered and gilded wood, was made in the Rococo period in Genoa, Italy, around the middle of the eighteenth century. The under-top band is carved with a profile with a rough pattern with reserves interspersed with rocaille motifs and decorations carved in a vegetable style. The six legs are curved and move and end with curly feet. The seat with velvet lining is not coeval. It is anchored to the structure by means of screws, therefore easily removable, allowing you to replace the lining with ease and without compromising the structure of the bench. This bench is very decorative and of great furniture. It can be easily inserted in any context and can be placed in entrances or corridors, in living rooms and studios, in a room at the foot of the bed, suitable for both antique and modern furniture.
