About the Item

This is a Modernist Museum Bench or Daybed, dating back to the 1960s.

The piece measures 73.25 inches long, 31 inches deep, and 17.25 inches high. The leather shows some signs of wear consistent with age and use, including light surface creasing and a few small scuffs. The steel base shows some minor surface wear. Overall, the bench is in good vintage condition. Please see photos.
