Description
NORWAY, 18th–19th CENTURY
Daybed
Carved and turned wood
Upholstery and leather restored, late 19th – early 20th century.
H80 L210 D83 cm
Beautiful patina from use. Wear, marks, scratches and variations in the colour of the leather;
signs of use, minor imperfections and previous restoration work to the frame, consistent with
the piece’s age.
A substantial daybed in carved and turned wood, resting on a rectangular frame
with four turned posts joined by low crossbars. These feature a
repeating carved decoration of stylised scale or leaf motifs.
The sides are punctuated by a succession of slender turned balusters. The base, designed
as an openwork gallery, echoes this same baluster motif between two
powerfully turned and carved posts. The piece retains a beautiful antique patina
that bears witness to its use.
The seat and backrest are upholstered and covered in patinated brown leather, held in place by a row of
upholstery tacks. The upholstery and leather were likely reupholstered in the late 19th or early
20th century. There are old metal reinforcing elements beneath the seat.
