It is crafted from high-quality stained oak, which was widely sought after at the time for its exceptional strength, durability, and distinctive, aesthetically pleasing wood grain. The stool has been preserved in its original, very well-maintained condition, allowing it to retain an authentic patina and historical character that will instantly catch the eye of any antique lover. The structure of the stool is based on a stable three-legged base, from which rises a solid wooden cylinder with an embedded thread for height adjustment. The upper part of this central pillar features subtle decorative turning in the form of three horizontal grooves or rings, a discreet detail typical of the elegance of that era. The round seat has a sturdy wooden frame and an inset center panel upholstered in practical faux leather, which nicely complements the overall dark tone of the stained wood. from a craftsmanship perspective, this piece is well-thought-out down to the last detail, as evidenced by the underside of the seat. For maximum stability, it is reinforced with a solid wooden cross, to which a metal flange holding the screw is securely attached. This fully functional mechanism and honest craftsmanship make the stool not only a beautiful decorative element for both historic and modern pianos, but also a fully usable piece of furniture ready for immediate daily use.
