Description from the seller
Antique swiveling piano stool - Napoléon III Style - Mahogany, Iron, Brass - 19th Century
Description: Elegant and refined swiveling piano stool dating to the latter half of the 19th century, fully attributable to the Napoléon III style.
The item is made of noble mahogany wood and is adorned with metal border accents along the profiles, a typical feature of French Second Empire cabinetry. The piece has undergone conservative restoration in the past, which has preserved its stability and overall structure.
Details and Conditions:
Mechanism: The iron lifting screw is original and perfectly functional. It allows smooth height adjustment.
Seat: Retains the original padding and the basic weave from the period. The surface fabric is completely worn with time, revealing the charm of the underlying original canvas.
Signs of age: There are signs of non-active woodworm, plus small cracks and abrasions on the wooden surface due to use and the venerable age of the object. Defects that do not compromise its solidity but attest to its authenticity.
Materials: Mahogany wood, internal iron screw, perimeter metal details.
Dimensions: Seat diameter: 41 cm; Minimum height: about 50 cm (adjustable upward).
A truly charming antique piece, perfect for collectors or as a historic decorative accessory.
