The padded arms terminate in scrolled volutes, supported by spiral-turned posts with foliate-carved bases. The piece is raised on four tapered, fluted legs featuring ring-turned accents. 34″ H x 54″ W x 20″ D. Seat height 21.5 inches.

Condition report:
The settee is in good antique condition. The carved wood frame shows minor surface abrasions, small nicks, and wear to the finish consistent with age and use. The green velvet upholstery exhibits moderate pile crushing and light surface wear. The black and white striped trim appears to be a modern decorative addition.
