About the Item

A very interesting settee from the last decade of the nineteenth century, this wonderful example is executed in solid walnut and retains a very early beautifully oxidized surface throughout. The joinery is so fun with huge butterfly dovetails locking together the tenon-mortised joints in many areas; there are also a host of through-tenon-mortised joints locked with small wedged pins that add to the texture of the settee. The arms, sides of the seat, legs and stiles are beveled to soften the severe angles. A wonderful visual strikepoint for the hallway. Measurements: 34 3/8" H x 20 1/2" D x 55" W; 15 3/4" H to seat Condition Report: Old oxidized surface with discolorations and blemish throughout; we have left the surface in as-found estate condition with its wonderful overall variation and history, but blemishes can be retouched upon request (including piece of tape verso that can be removed and color touched, various bright areas where finish has been worn away, minor paint marks on surface, etc). Stabilized crack in front right corner with modern nail supplementing. Various hairline cracks throughout, none destabilizing. Losses to toes.
