MID CENTURY BENT PLY BENCH SEAT #1 room divider

MID CENTURY BENT PLY BENCH SEAT #1 room dividerCirca 1950s bench seat. Our research shows that this may have been cafe seating. We've seen very similar ones in old Myer cafeteria photos. The seat is made from bent plywood with hardwood edging and base legs. On the left side (when sitting it) is a beautifully simple square end. We believe the side without an end was placed against a wall. 155w x 55d x 82h (cm). Seat is 45h (cm). We have given it a thorough clean and polish, with the satin finish
