Rare Matching Pair Of Fireside Settees Also Referred To As "Bustle Benches" - C1850 American Empire

Great examples of American Empire period with molded & mirrored crotch mahogany - shaped and curved to match each bench's contours. Old world workmanship.
Amazing craftsmanship in every detail including carved floral pediments.
Serpentine front and scalloped back with wonderful tufting.
Amazing to find a matching set still together after more than 100 years!
Perfect in front of a fireplace or at the end of a bed.
An outstanding set.
Will need upholstery.
One rear bracket foot has been replaced during its lifetime - see images.
Some minor losses to veneer - typical of age and use.
Amazing pair and adorbable to boot!
