This is a very rare piece of Antique American Wicker furniture and is in excellent condition with a beautiful warm brown toned finish which has been cleaned and touched up in a few worn areas and has a pressed caned seat which is also in excellent condition.This elegantly designed settee incorporates two handsome curlycue decorated flared chair backs on each side which are connected to each other by a woven rolled crescent shape that connects each side from the top of each chair back down to the lower midsection of the settees back which sits above a gallery of curlycue decoration at seat level.. The rolled crescent of the back design is then carried out from arm to arm and along the settees elaborately woven and beed decorated skirting.

Part of a large collection of ornate Victorian wicker that was collected over the years by a Senator's wife. This rolled woven arm loveseat has wicker curlicues in the open areas under the side arm rests. Across the back are alternating lattice weaving and woven portions. The woven skirt comes from the top of the back leg to a mid-point on the front leg and returns to a shorter curved skirt in the center front. It is a delightful example of a late Victorian love seat.
