France

This sofa or settee has a bench style seat that is solid and sturdy and a rare serpentine back that follows the soft curves of the wooden walnut frame. Completely restored down to the 8 way hand tied springs and newly upholstered in a simple white cotton canvas fabric. Handcarved walnut frame with shell carvings on cabriole legs and front. Exquisite detail and patina. Deep, comfortable sofa that can easily accommodate 3 adults.

Such an elegant piece! And I loved your Poland post; I am Ukrainian Polish on my mother's side (and German, Jewish and British on my dad's) and I haven't had a chance to travel to Eastern Europe yet...now I really want to see Poland for myself!
