Continuous Arm Windsor Settee
Continuous-Arm Settee​

This elegant settee in a love-seat size has the "presence" and practicality that one looks for in a settee, yet it is small enough to be able to fit into a niche in a room or in a hall. The softened, dome-shaped seat-front of this piece is modeled after better antique examples which were designed to simulate the shape of an upholstered seat.  A contemporary piece in white oak and walnut is shown in the final image.
