This late 19th-century Victorian example has been given a fresh coat of soft periwinkle-blue paint, transforming an old parlor workhorse into a piece with real personality. The round seat swivels and adjusts in height on its original threaded steel column, while the fixed base below rests on four generously turned, reeded legs.

The legs splay outward to a turned cross-stretcher before terminating in brass-sheathed claw feet, each gripping a clear glass ball fitted with a caster — a detail that was as much showmanship as function when these stools were made. The reeding on the legs and the molded edges of both seat and base speak to the level of craftsmanship expected of Victorian furniture, even in a purely functional piece like this one.

Use it as intended at a piano or vanity, or let it moonlight as an occasional side table, plant stand, or sculptural accent — the swivel and height adjustment make it surprisingly versatile. The blue paint reads fresh and current against the antique bones, making this a piece that bridges traditional and contemporary interiors easily.
