This intricately carved 18th century oak bench originates from the Italian coast. Mythical creatures decorate the bench, both in carvings and in the embossed armorial leather seat and backrest. The bench features unusual footed front legs and two angels supporting a family crest above the backrest. The family crest depicts a lion across three stars above a castle.
