Context

Charles Gordon Lee of Taliesin made clear stipulations for furniture  upholstery within Beaver Meadows. He requested that all wooden furniture be upholstered in muslin from the Los Angeles-based Moss Rose Manufacturing Company, Color No. 58.

It is unclear whether the current upholstery is the original Moss Rose fabric or whether the bench has been reupholstered.
