19th Century Gray Swedish Gustavian Bench

About the Item

This elegant Swedish Gustavian sofa or settee has graceful decorative arms curving outward.  Please enlarge and examine the close up photos to appreciate the newer, professionally applied antique soft gray painted finish, distressed and rubbed to reveal the natural pine wood below adding an aged beauty to the bench. The back is open, and currently has a single piece of fabric stapled to it. The simple muslin fabric conveys how this bench may look if/when buyer chooses to upholster it. Three stiff back cushions and bench seat have a deconstructed look with exposed staples. Buyer can easily reupholster if desired. Old webbing and springs are seen underneath. Restored, this settee wood frame is solid, stable and ready to be used and enjoyed. Seat Height: 18.25"   All scratches, cracks, dings, and age related separation are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this lovely Swedish bench. Minor stains to upper edge of back cushions. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting may all impact how item is viewed.
