Description:

Here is a fine quality antique English Victorian box stool, constructed from solid mahogany, with a newly upholstered hinged leather seat, incorporating an internal storage area, circa 1840, in excellent condition.  It started life out as a commode, but has been converted into a stool.  The Victorian box stool comprises a mahogany box frame, with a newly upholstered brown leather hinged seat, finished with brass studwork, encompassed by a mahogany moulding.  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.  If you do not like the colour/style of the upholstery, we can re-cover the seat in a fabric of your choice for £35 labour.  The hinged lid opens to reveal a spacious storage area, which has been lined with blue glazed cotton.  The internal box would be ideal for storing magazines, TV remote controls, make-up or just as a general tidy box!  The front of the Victorian box stool is decorated with a scroll shaped flame mahogany front.  The Victorian mahogany stool is raised on its original baluster turned four legs.

This Victorian box stool boasts 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 Victorian box stool would look superb in a variety of rooms from the bedroom to living room.
