This model was intended for use either as a bench or as a coffee table. The wood surfaces presents with minor surface scratches, nicks and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. With nine minute filled holes to bench top, likely inherent in the making and as a mean of correcting a small imperfection to the rosewood veining. The brass top edges bandings with natural tarnishing and light scratches. The patinated steel support with minor scattered tarnishing, some nicks and dents to the patina and light scratches, all consistent with age and use. Sold with original canvas cushions, these present with scattered small circular stains as well as a brown discoloration to the edges. A well thought out design, the brass edges prevent cushions from sliding off, while the manageable size makes for a functional and elegant table addition to an interior.
