About the Item

An early 19th century Anglo Indian caned seat settee (with down filled cushion) in extensively carved solid ebony from the British colony of Ceylon (Sri Lanka today). The exceptional craftsmanship of these Indian makers was heavily influenced by Tudor and Elizabethan furniture of the 16th and 17th centuries and was famously displayed alongside such original English antiques at the Ceylon Court of the 1862 London Exhibition. Identical examples of rare ebony chairs with carved panels and bearing this distinctive rope twist arm are on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA. Without the cushion, the seat height is 18". The current down filled cushion is very lofted by sight, adding on about 3" seat height visually, but compresses to make the seat height about 19" when sat upon.

19th C Jacobean Renaissance Carved Oak High Back Cane 3 Seater Hall Bench Settee

Located in Llanbrynmair, GB

A decorative and well presented 19th Century Jacobean renaissance carved oak three seater high back bench settee. A superb quality piece with ornate arched back and cane inset panels. A lovely contrast with dark, almost ebonised wood frame, and light coloured cane seating. Gently curved arms, which are very inviting, are typical of this style. The bench sits on eight legs, all connected by their original turned stretchers with additional decorative arched mounded stretchers to the front. A good sized, well proportioned piece with generous seat. The three seat design provides a lovely balanced and symmetrical feel to the piece. Seat height = 46cm / 18" The piece is in excellent condition, there are a couple of historic repairs to the arched tops (see photos) but these are well made repairs and are in-keeping with the piece. The bench is sturdy with the cane seating also in excellent order. The item is clean and ready for installation. Provenance: This piece sat for many years at the famous London...
