19th century Swedish Karl Johan style bench crafted in glowing birch. The bench features slightly outward curving arms with beautiful carved detailing highlighting the open arms and back. The feet are gently curved, contributing to the elegant proportions associated with the Karl Johan style.
The birch wood displays a warm tone that appears to glow from within, emphasizing the timeless character of the piece.
The upholstered seat retains older vintage fabric and can easily be reupholstered at the discretion of the buyer. The back is not freestanding, as the bench was designed to be placed against a wall.
Some minor nicks, scratches, and an old repair to the veneer are visible, typical signs of generations of use. Restored, strong, stable, and ready for use.
