All of my antiques are hand selected from premier European shippers. I do not purchase in bulk, but prefer to individually purchase items, with each piece selected for its unique characteristics and quality.
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MULTIPE PHOTOS
Condition:
The bench is in good condition for its age, sturdy and strong, with normal signs of age and use, dings, scratches and other imperfection. The hand stitched needlework is quite old (c1930) but the frame is clearly even older(c1880)…see the tiny points where nails once attached the original upholstery. It is elegant and quite fabulous as presented, suitable for immediate use in your home! I always provide multiple photos that should be considered as part of the description and I encourage you to email me with any questions you might have prior to bidding. Please keep in mind antique furniture should be purchased for its uniqueness, higher quality material and craftsmanship and antique patina, charm and character….NOT for like-new condition!!!
Shipping:
Professional packaging, shipping and insurance on this item will be $65.00. (Lower 48 states only). All my antique furniture is professionally packaged for shipment by UPS, fully insured and delivered directly to your front door! I DO NOT use discount shippers!!!
