Antique Oak Storage Bench (Not Seating)

Product details

Seller's Notes:Beautiful antique oak hall settee / settle bench, likely early 20th century, with warm dark wood tone, curved side arms, carved/pressed decorative detailing along the upper back rail, turned spindle accents, and shaped front legs. Wood construction with visible age, patina, surface wear, scratches, and character throughout. This is a decorative antique piece and restoration candidate. It is currently delicate and should not be used for seating or weight-bearing without repair/stabilization. Best suited as an entryway accent, display piece, prop, or project for someone who appreciates antique furniture. As is, it can hold light items (e.g., linens) in the compartment under the seat; that compartment measures approximately 14" x 39" x 6". No maker’s label or stamp found. Possibly originally from the New England / Northeast region. Condition: Delicate antique condition with wear consistent with age, including scratches, finish wear, scuffs, and structural fragility. The hinges on the seat flap are loose. There is a piece missing from one of the claw feet, and the other claw foot is currently held together by electrical tape. The top rail attaches to the body by pegs and one of the three pegs is missing. The bottom of the storage compartment is split though functional for holding light items. I tried to show the most obvious wear and tear in the photos; please consult them carefully.
