An unusual Victorian carved walnut and painted simulated bamboo window seat, circa 1870

of curved outline upholstered in silk damask raised on tapered legs with brass cappings and castors

Unusual and very decorative. Re-decorated. The x-frame splats are loose and there are fractures to some of these where they join and small losses to these sites. Some old marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Damask generally good, although there are some small stains and wear to silk at the cornet of the seat.
