Condition Note: Rare structural integrity for its age. The casting is sharp and defined, showing the quality of a genuine Victorian Coalbrookdale pour. No hairline fractures detected in the ornate backwork or the central side medallions. The pattern number "7" is clearly visible and legible on the lower leg casting.

Estimated Value The confirmation of the Diamond Mark and the 'CB' initials removes all doubt of it being a reproduction. In the architectural salvage trade, an authenticated mid-19th-century Coalbrookdale "Medallion" bench is a high-yield asset, prized for its geometric symmetry and historical significance. £1,200.00 – £1,500.00 (As Is)

Note: Once professionally restored (sandblasted and primed) and fitted with high-quality hardwood slats (such as Iroko or Oak), a finished bench of this caliber typically retails in the region of £2,800.00 – £3,800.00.
