Description:Rare Mission Oak settee with carved baseball decoration c.1910. One of only a handful known to exist this bench is part of a three piece parlor suite and is the key piece in the set. Oak frame has a wonderful carved backboard with a country baseball scene retaining itsβ orig. paint decorated detail. Has one repaired crack to left arm rest otherwise in clean overall condition including desirable original surface. Seat is the original but has been recovered in red leatherette material and needs to be re-upholstered. Exhibits all of the trademark simplicities associated with Arts & Crafts style furniture, very few baseball related pieces of furniture are known contributing to the desirability of the offered settee. Measures 22β deep, 38β tall, and 45β wide: EX
