Condition Report:

This is a fine quality antique English Victorian window seat, constructed of solid mahogany, with a fabulous rich colour, circa 1850, in good original condition.  This mahogany bench boasts a single plank solid mahogany seat, which is a sign of quality and retains the original scroll ends.  As the seat is a single plank of mahogany, it has been susceptible to shrinkage and movement.  The seat has been secured underneath with blocks to ensure the top is now solid in joint.  Nominal old use marks to the top of the seat (see photos) and leading edges but nothing significant considering the age of the item.  The bench has been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination is of an excellent standard.  There are no breaks to the frame or legs.  The Victorian window seat is well constructed, solid in joint (it does not wobble) and is ready to use.
