Originating from England during the 1930s, this Art Deco dressing stool exhibits a cylindrical drum shape formed from warm brown oak with prominent grain patterns. The piece incorporates a low curved wooden backrest and a padded seat upholstered in a floral fabric featuring pink, green, and white flowers against a dark background, edged with a cream braided trim. The hinged lid lifts to reveal a useful interior storage space contained within the circular timber body. Measuring 46 cm high, 36 cm wide, and 40 cm deep, the stool maintains a compact footprint suitable for various interior spaces. Practical placement includes positioning the stool beneath a vanity or dressing table in a bedroom, or placing it at the foot of the bed as an occasional seat. The restored woodwork combines with the cylindrical silhouette to suit period and contemporary decorative schemes alike, providing both seating and concealed storage within a single portable item.

FAQs

Art Deco dressing stools from the 1930s typically feature compact, geometric forms such as drums or cylinders, often constructed from oak or walnut with integrated storage under the seat.

These pieces were commonly crafted using oak veneers, solid oak frames, padded lift-up timber seats, and upholstery fabrics trimmed with woven gimp or braid.

Authentic items show characteristic 1930s construction methods, such as quarter-sawn oak graining, flush inset hinges, original internal timber finishes, and period-appropriate upholstery techniques.

Place the stool alongside a contemporary vanity or positioning it in a bedroom dressing area where its geometric silhouette and hidden storage provide both form and function.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth, apply clear beeswax polish occasionally along the grain, and vacuum upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment.
