AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Superb vintage medical stool produced in Germany in the 1950s by the famous hospital furniture manufacturer Maquet.
A perfect example of industrial and functional design from the mid-20th century (Mid-Century Modern).
This iconic model stands out for its robustness and authenticity, evidenced by numerous original markings.
Features and design details:
• Frame & Base: High-quality chrome-plated tripod base. The three feet are fitted with their substantial original black rubber ferrules, stamped with the brand's shield-shaped logo.
• Werzalit–patented seat: The underside of the seat, made of compressed wood and resin, bears the thermoformed stamp "Werzalit", guaranteeing a historic material designed to withstand intensive medical use. The top features an original off-white textured vinyl/skaï covering, encircled by a clear protective edge.
• Mechanism: Equipped with a sturdy steel lead screw that provides smooth 360° rotation and precise height adjustment. The chrome central shaft still bears its original gold band reading "MAQUET".
Dimensions:
• Seat diameter: 34 cm
• Minimum height: 41 cm
• Maximum height: 62 cm
[Condition]
Excellent overall condition (vintage). The stool is fully functional (the lead screw turns smoothly). The chrome of the frame and base is particularly well preserved and shiny. The item shows light signs of use entirely in keeping with its age and history, visibly localized around the plastic edge of the seat (small scuffs/superficial marks visible in the close-up photos). The top covering of the seat is clean and tear-free.
The numerous detailed photos are an integral part of the description of the lot's condition.
Total package weight: 4.95 kg
