Antique Estate Chapel Organist's Stool, Scottish, Walnut Music Riser - William IV

This is an antique estate chapel organist's stool. A Scottish, walnut and leather music riser stool in Gothic Revival taste, dating to the William IV period, circa 1835. Fascinating example, with an expressive carved appearance that displays a desirable aged patina and in good antique order. Select walnut presents fine grain interest and warm caramel hues. Waxed leather stool finished in a deep navy blue with a cross hatch pattern. Octagonal cushion set upon a riser, with a counter-clockwise action adding 11cm to the height. Delightfully broad barley twist support column houses the brass riser when lowered. Collar with scroll motif unites the column with the highly distinctive octagonal base. An octet of pad feet, each adorned with a relief carved cabochon. Gothic overtones redolent of ecclesiastic furniture popularised by Augustus Pugin (1812 - 1852). This is a superb antique estate chapel organist's stool, with a desirable riser function and strong Gothic revival detail. A treat for the music room or within a public setting. Solid joints and construction, delivered ready for the home or institution. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee with all of our antiques.
