Hi,

 

I have never run across a bench like this before.  My customer thinks 1700's but I am sure it is not nearly that old because of the springs.  Any ideas??

 

My second question- I assume that upholstered pieces contained coil springs like these only after the industrial revolution.  Am I correct with that assumption?

 

This piece has been reupholstered at least one time.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Sally
