The Windsor Settee by artist not provided, shows a black wooden bench. The bench features a backrest with a curved top rail and numerous thin, evenly spaced vertical spindles. The armrests are curved and connected to the backrest. A curved rail runs underneath the seat. The seat itself appears flat and smooth. The legs are tapered and connected by two stretchers, one near the floor and another higher up.
