A charming antique William IV mahogany sewing box stool dating from around 1840, combining elegant design with practical storage.
Raised on a finely turned central pedestal terminating in a substantial quadripartite base with turned bun feet, the stool displays the refined proportions and restrained elegance associated with the William IV period.
The hinged upholstered seat lifts to reveal a useful storage compartment, originally intended for sewing implements and needlework, making it equally practical today for storing knitting, craft items or other household essentials.
The seat has been professionally reupholstered by RD Goodchild in F4905-05 (Red/Green). It has been finished with traditional double piping, creating a crisp, tailored edge that reflects the quality of the craftsmanship and complements the elegant mahogany frame.
A wonderfully versatile piece, ideal as a dressing table stool, occasional seat, bedroom accent or decorative addition to a classic country-house interior.
Condition:
Very good antique condition. The mahogany frame is solid and sturdy with a rich, mellow patina developed over nearly two centuries. There are minor age-related surface marks together with a few historic shrinkage lines to the base, all stable and entirely commensurate with age. The upholstery is in excellent condition, having been professionally reupholstered by RD Goodchild.
