Cabinet/Shelf with upholstered bench seat

By nanaspj, 1 July, 2008
Description

Piece looks to be some sort of wall size gossip bench or telephone booth. It is L-shaped with the side shelf open to just above seating area. At top of shelf is a small storage cabinet with one beautiful beveled leaded glass door. below that is two narrow upen-back shelves with a small round netal rod attached at top maybe for curtain/covering to hide what is on shelves. The bench seat is upholstered in near perfect fabric that looks to be original with only some age fading to it. I was told upholstery and stuffing were original. Full length storage drawer underneath bench is dovetailed as is other parts of piece. Shelf going up wall behind bench is open back frame with shelf at top. Shelf has backing as if for display. Along length of back of shelf are the inlaid decorative boxes.
