Beautiful storage bench (Reserved) Lighting There is a little openingThe beautiful carved wooden gilded panel on this bench is mid 18th century and has been later, and skillfully incorporated into this storage bench in the 19th century. From a chateau near Orleans, France, we found this sat beneath a huge shuttered window. It has a hinged top, and is ornately decorated with gilded acanthus leaves. A winged cherub sits front and centre, and two floral motifs adorn each end. Super heavy, this is a solid, well made piece
