needlepoint bench

We purchased this bench at an estate sale for $5. It has damage. Someone sat on it and cracked the frame. The needlepoint seat is stunning! It does need cleaning however. Should we take it to a dry cleaning service? We also need to try to determine its age.

We removed the needlepoint and it was in very bad condition. Lots of stitches missing. We took it to be cleaned and they wouldn't do it.

The bench has been repaired and reupholstered. It is for sale.
