The exquisitely carved linen fold ornamentation allows the beautifully versatile utilitarianism of this replica to shine beneath a hand-rubbed, antique finish that makes this focal piece perfect for donning boots in the front hall or finding a quiet place of rest in the library. This investment in European-style, hand-carved furniture art is a Design Toscano exclusive! Simple assembly required. 48.5"Wx21"Dx38.5"H. 73 lbs.
