The Windsor Settee by artist unknown, shows a black wooden bench with a long seat and backrest featuring five sections. The backrest has five rounded sections, each with a semicircular top and numerous thin, straight spindles. The seat appears to be made of wood with a wicker or woven design. The bench has four legs, two at each end, and a stretcher bar connecting them horizontally near the floor. The background is a light gray wall and floor.
