Description :

Beautiful antique Victorian walnut piano stool featuring turned spindle legs, ornate carved claw feet, and a richly upholstered burgundy velvet seat embroidered with decorative cross motifs and finished with rope trim and tassels. The solid walnut frame displays classic late 19th-century craftsmanship with an elegant stretcher base and substantial turned center support. A wonderful accent piece for a Victorian, Gothic Revival, or traditional home, equally suited as a vanity stool, piano stool, or decorative seating.

Measurements:
Approximately 18" H × 15" Diameter Seat

Condition:
Good antique condition. Frame is sturdy with attractive age-related patina and expected wear. Velvet upholstery shows age, fading, and light wear consistent with use but retains excellent color and charm. One of the stool's most remarkable stories is that it reportedly survived a house flood in the early 1900s, adding a unique chapter to its long history. Please review photos for complete condition details.

Historical Note:
Victorian piano stools like this were produced between the late 1800s and early 1900s, when music rooms were a centerpiece of the home. Turned walnut construction, carved animal claw feet, and richly upholstered seats reflected the craftsmanship and decorative tastes of the era. Family stories and provenance—such as this stool's survival through an early 20th-century house flood—make antique furniture especially meaningful, connecting the piece to generations of everyday history.

Est. Value:
175-325
