About the Item

This wonderful 19th century Swedish maple settee features classic Biedermeier design elements adapted to Scandinavian tastes for lightness and simplicity, using only the finest quality materials and techniques. The wide bench seat–wrapped in woven horsehair upholstery of black and brown strands–is sheltered by a pierced seat back accented with ebonized fretwork between stiles of contrasting maple and a toprail of quartersawn planks that reveal shimmering waves in the grain. At the top is a pediment filled with the same ebonized effect for a unified look from tip to toe; four pairs of elegantly tapering legs lift the piece from the floor. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, this sophisticated settee will make a fine addition to a living room, hallway, or library. Please view the detailed images to see more.
