This bench stands out for its sculptural silhouette, featuring a high backrest and apron, both adorned with a rhythmic sequence of arched scalloped patterns, known in period terminology as perfiles lobulados.

The bench retains its original joinery and pegged construction, a testament to its authenticity and structural integrity.
