19th Century French Louis XV Walnut Armbench features an amazing amount of artistry in a diminutive piece!  Utilizing only select, sumptuous French walnut, the artisans crafted naturalistic scrolls for the uprights, with each of four one piece sculpted with shell and acanthus leaf motifs, tipped with escargots.  The scrolled apron is adorned on all four sides, with additional carved detailing on both of the long sides, making it just as attractive from any angle.  Even the armrests have received the attentions of the sculptor's hand!  Upholstered in serviceable mohair.
Circa 1890s
