Description

A delightful late 19th century height adjustable stool, crafted in mahogany with elegantly turned splayed legs and a stretchered base united by a thick central turned column, topped with a luxurious deep blue buttoned velvet seat.

The smoothly operating height mechanism allows the seat to be raised or lowered, making it ideal for use as a piano stool, dressing stool or decorative accent piece.

The seat is raised by simply lifting, and lowered by pushing the very sweet little brass button to one side.

Presented in excellent antique condition with only light surface wear to the frame. The velvet seat is recently upholstered. Structurally sound, beautifully clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1880.

H: 48-56 W: 41 D: 33 cm

FAQs

Victorian seating from the 19th century typically features solid hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, elaborate turned or carved details, and functional mechanical elements designed for specific domestic activities such as playing the piano.

These pieces were constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany, joined with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and featured cast iron or wooden central screw mechanisms to allow height adjustment.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate hand-turned wooden components, heavy central wooden or iron screw threads for height adjustment, traditional upholstery tacking, and age-appropriate oxidisation and wear on the timber.

An antique piano stool functions effectively as a versatile accent piece, serving as an occasional seat in a living room, a dressing table seat, or a compact side table for books and decorative objects.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the wood, whilst protecting upholstered velvet sections from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent fading and fibre damage.
