ATTRIBUTION
This bench has a particularly distinctive arm support in the form of a tulip like flower supporting a scroll. This feature is almost identical to the supports found on a pair of window seats supplied to Great Tew Park in 1817 by George Bullock. Based on the lighter feel to the design of our bench, it is possible that it may be slightly earlier than the Tew Park pair.
