Description

A late Victorian mahogany piano stool, the hinged upholstered seat lifting to reveal a useful storage compartment and standing on elegantly shaped cabriole legs with turned spindle side supports flanking the seat.

Combining practical design with decorative presence, ideal beside a period piano but equally suitable for a dressing table or as an occasional seat in a bedroom or hall. Upholstered in a soft blue fabric trimmed with gold braid, providing a tasteful contrast to the rich mahogany tones.

Presented in very good antique condition with a pleasing aged patina, solid frame, and sound joints. The upholstery is later but neatly executed and the lid opens smoothly on its original hinges. Minor evidence of old, long-dormant worm to the back, fully treated and stable. Clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1890.

FAQs

A Victorian piano stool is a specialised seat designed for pianists during the 19th century, frequently featuring an adjustable mechanism or a hinged lid for storing sheet music.

These stools were typically crafted from dense hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, or oak, often finished with upholstered padding covered in velvet, needlepoint, or modern textiles.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as dovetailing in the internal storage box, hand-turned wooden elements, and aged timber patination consistent with late 19th-century manufacturing.

An antique piano stool serves effectively as an occasional seat in a living room, a vanity chair in a bedroom, or a functional standalone accent piece.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture.
