Description:
Here is a fine quality antique English Georgian Chippendale style mahogany upholstered rectangular piano duet stool, constructed during the late Victorian period, circa 1890, which has been newly upholstered and is excellent condition. It has been newly upholstered in top quality cream coloured floral pattern structured silk & cotton upholstery, finished with matching braiding. The seat itself is firm, which means that you won’t sink into the upholstery, but at the same time, it is very comfortable to sit on. The hinged seat lifts open to reveal an internal storage compartment; ideal for the storage of sheet music, if the item is used as a piano stool. The seat lid will remain open until you close the solid brass-folding hinges on either side. The compartment roof retains the original mahogany panels to the inside of the lid, as well as the original mahogany base. The perimeter of the frame features gadroon carvings, while the stool is raised on four elegant cabriole legs, which boast acanthus leaf carvings to the knees and terminate on ball & claw feet.
This stool features a rich brown mahogany finish. It has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This item would look superb in a variety of rooms from the bedroom to living room. This item would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it is extremely functional. So don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
