Antique, orginal Tonk Mfg Piano Bench with Storage
About the Item
An exceptional early 20th century solid wood piano bench by the renowned Tonk Manufacturing Company of Chicago (est. 1873). This authentic piece is evidence to the company's reputation for superior craftsmanship in musical furniture production.
Constructed entirely of solid wood with precise joinery and a sleek rectangular form that embodies Arts and Crafts design principles. The clean lines and sturdy construction highlight the functional elegance that defined this movement. The top is a beautifully grained Walnut veneer. The legs have a brass foot detail.
The hinged lid opens to reveal a storage compartment intended for sheet music and accessories. This practical feature maintains its original functionality with intact hinges and smooth operation.
Tonk Manufacturing Company pieces are increasingly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and exceptional build quality. This bench remains in sound structural condition, with expected wear consistent with its age and use.
This piano bench serves equally well as a functional musical accessory or as a distinctive accent piece for period interiors. The clean design complements various decorative styles while offering a tangible connection to America's musical heritage and furniture craftsmanship tradition.
