This style was a reaction against the excessive ornamentation of earlier Victorian furniture, aiming for a more functional and robust aesthetic. Pieces from this era, especially those with original upholstery and intact carvings, are highly sought after by collectors.

Piano stools, like this one, were essential pieces of furniture in Victorian homes, often designed to be adjustable and swivel to accommodate different players and instruments. The needlepoint upholstery, featuring a floral motif, adds a touch of domestic artistry and personal craftsmanship, common in furniture of this period. Such stools are valued not only for their utility but also as decorative items that reflect the period's taste and craftsmanship. Measuring 18 inches in length, 19.5 inches in height, and 14 inches in width, this unique piece is a true reflection of the intricate craftsmanship of the 19th century. See less
