Condition
Overall in very good condition consistent with age. The wood surfaces present with very light surface scratches and faint marks to the wood, consistent with gentle use. The finish has been recently professionally refreshed. Note there is a natural gradation and lighting to the hue of the wood along the central joints of the bench, adding and intentional element of detailing which is not visible in the catalogue illustration. This bench is rare for its unusually tall height, differing from the standard 11 1/2 in. high. It is structurally sound and presents well overall.
