Description

The Settee was given to me out of a old mansion in knoxville, TN 29 years ago. It has been upholstered when taken down it had straw and some kind of batting and webbing type material.  I was told by the owner it has been in the basement for as long at the house had been there.   It has brass roller type wheels on the front.  I know little about it other then what I have stated. It was thread bare when I got it and old faded looked like it might have been red at one time.  but was so faded out could not tell.
