Condition

The bench is dirty as expected but in good overall condition with nicks, scratches and dents consistent with use and outside storage. The seat and backrest have never been broken. There is white cement residue to all parts. The bench is composed of a backrest, a seat, two feet and two lion carved armrests. The armrests would have had two bowls, now lacking and are now showing a drilled hole.
