Per Curator at time of gift: Triple loop or bow-back settee with carved arm terminals, broad rail back with ogee shaped ends. Rail divides back into two sections; shaped plank seat. Eight splayed turned legs supported by five baluster turned stretchers. Natural finish; early paint has been stripped but evidence of an original color likely survives on underside of seat.
