Description
Elegant Victorian piano stool made from mahogany with an upholstered seat. The stool stands on three splayed legs with a central turned support. It is an excellent quality piece with a lovely rich colour and superb quality carved details. It has a maker's name below the seat for "J.Fitter. Birmingham"
It is nicely upholstered with a creamy beige buttoned top and braid edge. It is not new upholstery and there are some marks and a few minor old stains on the cover. It displays well as it is but could of course be re-upholstered to suit.
It can be adjusted in height by spinning the seat around to move it up or down. At its lowest adjustable position it is 19" (48cm) and at its highest adjustable position it is approximately 22" (56cm).
It is in good condition for its age and is strong and sturdy. The revolving mechanism runs smoothly with very minimal give side to side and when extended upwards the stool is very stable. There are some small marks and minor knocks around the base and there has been a repair to the tip of one foot but nothing detrimental and it displays beautifully and is certainly a very usable piece.
The best description comes from the photographs so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
