A superb, mid 19th-century Victorian period piano stool, ottoman in richly figured rosewood, dating to circa 1860.

Below, a neat mahogany lined drawer offers further discrete storage. The piece stands on a quartet of bun feet with inset brass castors, making it easy to move while retaining a refined, period look. The well proportioned sculptural base ensures that the stool looks impressive from every angle.
Retaining its original colour, patina and deep polish, this piano stool has the warm glow and character that only well preserved mid 19th-century furniture can offer. Structurally sound and in excellent original order, it clearly represents top-tier Victorian cabinetmaking.
