Particularly attractive are the elegantly sculpted arms, each formed with a subtle sweeping profile that gives the otherwise simple construction a distinctive architectural quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional craftsmanship is evident throughout. The walnut frame is predominantly mortise-and-tenon constructed, with visible pegged joints, while the rush is woven directly around the seat rails to create a generous and surprisingly compact two-person seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe walnut has developed a lovely mellow colour and naturally aged surface, retaining the knocks, marks, variations in tone and softened edges accumulated through more than a century of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just 95cm wide, this is an unusually useful size. It has the presence of an Arts \u0026amp; Crafts settle without the substantial proportions normally associated with one, making it particularly suited to a hallway, bedroom, fireside, landing or smaller living space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully honest piece of English Arts \u0026amp; Crafts furniture combining traditional construction, beautiful proportions and the simplicity of design for which the movement is so admired.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odloft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54037646082395,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/1330\/4155\/files\/Antique_Arts_Crafts_Walnut_Rush_Settee_Lifestyle.png?v=1789219152","url":"https:\/\/odloft.com\/products\/antique-arts-crafts-walnut-rush-settee-c1900","provider":"Odloft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
