This backrest and sides of this settee feature an intricately carved lattice pattern with no breaks or repairs found. The settee frame is adorned with white shell inlay and surface carving. The seat cushion is covered in the original fabric with a woven pattern of birds and vines accented with metallic thread. The base features heavily carved decorative legs and apron.
