Rare Regency Rio Rosewood Cushion Seat Bench in the manner of Gillows
By GILLOWS OF LANCASTER & London
England
circa 1815
The highly figured rio rosewood veneers to the frame have been well chosen and the stool has finely carved solid rosewood tapered legs. The top edge of the seat frame is cross-banded in rosewood offering a contrast to the upholstered drop-in seat which has recently been upholstered with a Gainsborough silk fabric.
Condition
The drop-in seat is of recent manufacture as the original seat frame was warped and not useable.
Literature
It is rare to see a bench made in rosewood and also a drop-in seat from this period.
