Bay Colony Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this wonderful early 20th century Antique Arts & Crafts / Mission Oak settee. The bench employs an unusual format with the center stile between the two curved slatted backs. We love the distinctive feature of how the slats continue through the bottom of the backs with a rounded profile. The bench has large paddle arms & showcases an attractive grade of quarter-sawn Oak with vibrant rays and flecks present in the grain. Its Golden brown color is refreshingly bright, providing a lighter, airy feel that stands out from the often-darker finishes of typical Mission furniture. The cushion rests atop a slatted frame & was recently done over by the previous owner with a tasteful floral patterned fabric. The cushion is free of any tears, holes, odors, & stains, and is 100% ready for use in its current condition. The frame is also in wonderful condition with our only notes being minor surface wear. The bench measures 48 3/4” wide x 23” deep x 37 1/2” tall. The seat measures 41 1/2” wide between the arms x 18 1/2” deep with a 17” seat height.
