Duncan Phyfe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a low-set, long bench titled "Window Seat" by Duncan Phyfe. The bench has a rectangular seat. The seat is upholstered in red fabric with a gold design. The gold design consists of two symmetrical floral patterns, one on each half of the seat. A gold patterned border runs around the perimeter of the seat. The legs are made of dark wood and have a curved, S-shape. The legs are connected by a flat, rectangular frame that runs along the bottom of the bench. The background is light gray.
