early 19th century fabulously carved bench

For sale is an extremely high quality carved bench. The top of the bench has two ornately carved griffins, one on either side. Between the griffins is an intricately carved mask with fruit on either side. The arms of the bench are heavily carved lions. Between the lions, on the back of the bench, there are three elaborately carved panels portraying dolphins and the centre panel displays two nicely carved dragons. The bench has a rising seat, which when opened displays ample storage space. Below the seat the bench has another three carved panels, two with faces and one florally carved in the centre, on either side of these three panels is another carving of a lions head each decorated with fruit below. This is a superb piece, it is simply one of the best examples of elaborate hand carving and craftsmanship of the 19th century. It would be very difficult to find a much better example. For this piece to be truly appreciated the item must be viewed in person, also many additional photos are available upon request.
