This beautiful antique Victorian piano stool dates from the late 19th century, around 1880–1890, and features an elegant design typical of the period. Crafted from solid mahogany, the stool stands on four finely turned and carved legs, connected by a decorative stretcher for extra stability. The richly detailed carving, including reeded and banded elements, reflects the high-quality craftsmanship of the era.
The circular seat is upholstered in a cream damask-style fabric with deep button tufting and decorative trim, offering both comfort and period charm. The stool retains its original twist mechanism, allowing the seat height to be adjusted by rotating it up or down, making it practical for use at a piano, dressing table, or as a versatile occasional seat.
The mahogany wood has developed a warm patina over time, enhancing its character. Signs of age and use, such as wear to the legs and some upholstery staining, add to its authenticity and antique appeal. With restoration or reupholstery, it could be further enhanced, but it remains functional and full of character as it is.
This Victorian piano stool is not only a practical piece but also a decorative item that fits beautifully into traditional, vintage, or eclectic interiors. Perfect for pianists, antique furniture enthusiasts, or collectors of fine Victorian furnishings, it would make a wonderful addition to any home.
This stool is of fine quality - yes there is patina and wear to the legs in particular rubbed off stain on the feet, and unfortunate light staining to the seat, but honestly with a bit of a upholstery clean this stool is in phenomenally good condition for its age. The swivel works perfectly.
Dimensions (approx.): Height adjustable from 45 cm to 57 cm, seat diameter 35 cm; feet are 29cm apart.
