Classic 19th-century carved oak hall settee with subtle ebonized finish. Natural wood tones emerge through years of gentle wear, creating a unique patina. Practical storage trunk adds functionality to this versatile piece. Ideal for entryways, offices, libraries, and hallways. A refined antique that combines historical charm with everyday utility. I bought this beautiful bench when I lived in Scotland over 30 years ago. It has sat in the hallway of numerous homes and has been terrific storage for winter and ski gear while adding a period design element. I'm downsizing and this just does not fit in my current living situation. Well loved and well taken care of. The bench at the bottom sits 5.5" away from the wall making the distance at the bottom from the wall to the front of the bench 21.5".
