Carved and sculpted walnut bench. Italy, 17th century.

The sculptural decoration is arranged across three registers: a plinth with a continuous acanthus frieze, a central body with a relief panel depicting two telamones flanking an unidentified heraldic cartouche within a symmetrical composition of foliate scrolls and rosettes, and a back rail with a large ribbed shell flanked by acanthus corbels. Uprights clad in scale ornament. The seat is upholstered.
