17TH CENTURY

The crest rail forms a continuous, elegant curve above the supporting C-shaped splat and curve downwards in a sinuous line which continue through the rectangular seat frame. Each back splat is inset with a painterly marble panel, one evocative of a lone tree in a desolate landscape and the second evocative of a stormy sea. The legs are of round section joined by stepped stretchers and a footrest at front.
