Both settees are structurally sound with no movement in the joints.  One settee appears brown in comparison to the second with is much darker and closer to black.  The carving is not the same in the two settees, but the overall shape is very similar.
There are a few small areas with loss of stain exposing the natural color of the wood.  The darker of the two has a some areas on the edge of the carving that is white, the source unknow.  These spots are on the back on one side and do not affect the overall appearance of the settee.
