Bench, Swedish with Neoclassical Carving

About the Item

The relatively narrow seat on this Gustavian bench makes it perfect for a hallway or as secondary seating in a living room. Simple lines with straight sides and back are decorated with small fluted finials on all four corners. The back has an unusual stair step configuration with carved griffons and a small face at the center. Beautifully painted in a soft grey that is typical of Swedish furniture. The foam bench seat will need to be reupholstered.
