Pair of 18th and 19th C Italian Curved Walnut Velvet Benches

This pair of curved walnut benches was made in Italy. One is the original dating back to the end of the 18th century. The other is a exact copy that was made in Italy in the mid-19th century. This pair features velvet seat covers with exposed brass tacks above a curved skirt and is supported by four scroll-foot cabriole legs.

Wear consistent with age and use. Minor losses. Minor fading. One of the benches was created in the 19th Century. The upholstery has holes and are missing stuffing. The benches needs reupholstering.
