Antique Edwardian Inlaid Mahogany Piano Stool by Jas Shoolbred C.1905

1900 - 1920
Description

A fine Edwardian mahogany piano stool by James Shoolbred & Co, the padded rectangular seat in floral needlepoint opening to a substantial storage compartment with original brass stay, set over a frieze framed in boxwood stringing, all raised on boxwood-strung tapering legs.

Retaining the maker's plaque to the underside, the workshop quality of James Shoolbred is evident throughout, demonstrated by the crisp boxwood inlays, heavy solid brass hardware and the fully finished underside of the seat. Ideal for use today as a bedroom dressing table stool, or as an elegant occasional seat in a sitting room.

Very good antique condition with minor surface wear consistent with age. Structurally sound throughout, with the brass stay operating smoothly and the needlepoint upholstery beautifully clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1905.

This Edwardian piano stool originates from around 1905, produced by James Shoolbred & Co. Fashioned from dark brown mahogany with boxwood stringing inlay, the piece includes a padded rectangular seat covered in cream and green floral needlepoint upholstery, set upon tapered square legs and enclosing a music storage compartment. The woodwork displays crisp stringing lines, while the lift-up seat operates via heavy solid brass hardware.

FAQs

Edwardian piano stools typically feature light, elegant proportions crafted from dark woods like mahogany, often incorporating line inlay, tapered legs, and integrated sheet music storage compartments beneath hinged or removable seats.

Cabinetmakers during the Edwardian era predominantly utilised solid mahogany or rosewood, accenting surfaces with delicate satinwood or boxwood stringing and pairing frames with woven wool needlepoint or tapestry upholstery.

Authentic Edwardian stools display precise joinery, fine boxwood stringing, and tapered square legs, frequently accompanied by makers brass stamp plates or paper labels from renowned London manufacturers like James Shoolbred & Co.

An antique piano stool serves as versatile occasional seating in a dressing room, an accent piece placed within a bay window, or functional storage for documents and small accessories beside an entryway console.

To preserve antique mahogany, polish the timber periodically with natural beeswax and protect it from direct sunlight; needlepoint upholstery should be gently dusted with a soft brush and kept dry.
