Origin of Jacobean (revival) bench?

Hello, all. These photos are not mine, but they are from an online website offering this bench for sale.
This is a Jacobean bench estimated to be made of walnut from Europe in the late 19th century. The dealer had no other information, as he got it from an estate sale in New York, and it has no makers mark. The finials are urn-shaped, so I do not know if that assists in placement. The cherubs are very detailed. I can’t figure out if cherub-themed furniture is from a particular country.

Any ideas as to where this is from? England? Belgium?

Also, what do you call the decoration on the feet, above the ball? That design is elsewhere on the chair, including below the finial. I have a chair believed to be Scottish in origin with similar feet, but the back of the chair is different and has no cherubs.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you!

 

Yep, I am goin with Davey on this one.

 

I think the seller would agree, which is why its age is estimated to be from the 19th century. I changed the title of the thread to add the word “Revival.” Any thoughts on country of origin?

 

How do you know it isnt American ?

 

I don't know either way. The seller said only that it is "European." When I asked for more information, he thought perhaps it was Belgian. There are no maker's marks.

I've seen many Jacobean revival chairs over the years that look similar (e.g. barley twist, etc.) but never a bench like this. Perhaps the cherubs and urn-shaped finials are clues as to its origin.

Does it look American?

 

No offence but, it looks like a pie in the sky offering from a dealer to me. Here is an identical piece or more likely the same piece offered from 1stdibs or maybe this bench is having children!
Asking $9800...... uhhhhhhh noooooooooo, you can buy a period piece for that kind of money, just sayin.

A little different but with cherubs. They say English, early 20th C but don't give much info. Sold for $200 in 2015

Yeah, that's more like it plus, it's got a cushion!

 

If you like it and you're going to sit it in the house somewhere you can pay whatever you feel comfortable paying. If it's an investment piece, around here $200 is probably where it would max out. Brown wood of any sort just doesn't go for much, and a Victorian piece is tough to give away.

 

Thanks. So, is the best guess English?

 

200 bills....and this one is far superior to the other....

 

It looks more like a Catholic than a Protestant bench to me.

This is not just a facile comment; like the churches, styles from predominantly Catholic countries tend to have more exuberant decoration than those from Protestant countries. I suspectit may be European rather than British. French seems a reasonable candidate.

 

I don't really think it's important where bench was made, it's a revival piece and this style has been popular at various times on both sides of the pond since the 17th century. Most recently in USA in the 1920s-30s

 

My first thougt was that it looks German or maybe Austrian: Bavarian in style.

 

Thank you. I appreciate the input.
