About the Item

This 19th-century English settee blends subtle elegance with rustic character, featuring a solid hardwood frame and openwork apron detailing beneath the seat. The backrest and seat are upholstered in vintage grain sack fabric—coarse-textured with faded indigo striping—adding a sense of rural charm and historical reference. The upholstery is finished with brass nailhead trim that complements the understated geometry of the frame. Straight arms with scrolling ends extend slightly past the front posts, offering a relaxed perch, while the tall, gently raked back and full-length stretcher provide both comfort and support. The apron is hand-carved in a repeating openwork motif, subtly decorative without overwhelming the piece’s clean-lined structure. The wood appears to be a mellow, medium-toned fruitwood or mahogany, lightly patinated and consistent with 19th-century English joinery traditions. At just under 49 inches wide, this bench fits beautifully in an entryway, hallway, or under a window, where its mix of utility and style makes a strong impression. The seat height is 18 inches, suitable for comfortable everyday seating.
