Description:
Here is a fine quality antique English Edwardian solid mahogany & satinwood inlaid neo-classical style piano stool, circa 1910, which has been newly upholstered, and is in excellent condition. The seat has been newly upholstered, to a professional standard, in top quality patterned structured chenille upholstery, with matching braiding. If you do not like the colour/style of the upholstery, we can re-cover the seat in a fabric of your choice, for an additional £40. 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 seat is flanked by splayed arms, connected to the low back. The back and arms boast satinwood string inlay, with the back also featuring a cross banded centre. The arms are a useful feature of this stool, as it enables you to comfortably adjust the position of the stool, whilst sitting on it.
Below, the box frame is decorated with further satinwood string inlay and cross banding. The stool is raised on string inlaid tapering legs, terminating on spade feet. 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 original solid brass-folding stay on the right-hand side. The compartment roof retains the original mahogany panel to the inside of the lid, as well as the original mahogany base.
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 mahogany piano stool 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.
