The round seat is framed by a molded edge with subtle concentric line detailing, giving the piece visual depth and a grounded presence.

Below, a central turned pedestal supports the adjustable-height mechanism, a hallmark of traditional piano stools designed to accommodate different players. The engineering is discreetly integrated into the form, preserving the stool’s elegant proportions.

Four turned legs extend outward and are joined by cross stretchers, creating a balanced and architectural base. Each leg terminates in a cast iron claw foot, an iconic Victorian detail that adds both visual drama and historical authenticity.

Crafted from solid hardwood, the stool carries the warm, time-softened tone typical of antique American production from this period. The form feels substantial without being heavy, making it easy to integrate into both traditional and collected modern interiors.

Originally intended for use at a piano, this piece also works beautifully as a decorative accent stool, plant stand, or sculptural side piece. It brings instant character to a space and reads as genuinely old, not revival or reproduction.

A strong example of Victorian utility furniture, this stool offers a compelling blend of craftsmanship, ornament, and everyday history.
