My Mother and Father came across this bench years ago at a local Goodwill. My mother reupholsterd the bench herself. As a young child this was our couch. I still use this bench for seating in my home. I love it. There are no markings on it . I would like to know who manufactured it and also the time period. Any help?

i am going to take a couple of swings based on the three pics. this is a settee that looks to have been stripped of the finish at some point. i think it is nice based on what i see. the quartersawn figuring in the piece looks good. the pins in stretchers look nice and i especially like the trough tenon top rail. i would say in the wide range of 1900 to 1920. while i think i could get to the maker with a couple of shots, i will leave it up to someone who can give you more. if you are not emotionally attached to the fabric, get it back to leather and enjoy
or 1910 to 1930....someone will post the pic. from a catalog
Thank you!
