A lavish two-arm settee with sweeping gilded scrollwork arms, acanthus-leaf carving, and a tall ornamental back crest topped by a small finial. A deep royal-blue tufted cushion runs the length of the seat, framed by richly decorated skirting and clawed feet.

This showpiece bench dresses a palace hall, grand parlour, or opera-house lobby diorama and fits a dollhouse drawing room beautifully. It gives an upscale interior an instant sense of period luxury.
