A low daybed step from the mid-19th century, featuring an elongated plank top with rounded ends and short splayed legs linked with straight stretchers. Crafted with mortise-and-tenon joinery, without the use of nails or screws, the legs connect to the seat with half-moon double joints for a subtle decorative detail. A finish of black lacquer darkens all sides, now faded at the legs and speckled with wear. Originally used to easily step in and out of a raised daybed, the low bench is ideal today as a footrest, low coffee table or as an elevated surface for table settings.
