Spanish Baroque style carved walnut hall bench, 19th c., shaped crest with crowned pair of flanked eagles, over paneled back with carved scrollwork and central urn, on elaborate spiral twist legs ending on lobed feet, constructed with protruding brass bolted joinery, back left-hand foot intact with glue restoration, crest intact with central split and braced reinforcement, lacking pair of finials, approx 62"h, 54"w, 20"d, seat height: approx 21"h

07.09.2026- In my opinion regarding LOT 3254: In addition to attached images, please thoroughly review high-resolution online listing images, as the dark finish of the wood coupled with the gallery lighting are not optimal for the cell phone images attached, as described the back left-hand foot is intact with glue reinforcements and the seat back is lacking a pair of finials or turnings, I note that the bench is structurally sturdy, the crest with a central split, a review of the backside suggests the seam may have been reinforced however I am uncertain, crest remains securely joined to the seatback via a wood brace, the central crown motif of the crest with chipped loss to the central point (see image), I observe a minute patch repair at the right-hand corner post of the seat back (see image), a couple of the carved floral elements at the back corners of seat trim having glue reinforcement with visible residue that would likely resolve with gentle use of a small blade along seams, overall the bench exhibits a few minor, stable splits, light finish rubs, and sparse typical minor surface wear such as small nicks and chips commensurate with age and use
