[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 350722, member: 4438"]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 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!
