About the Item

Antique height adjustable piano chair Germany Walnut Wilhelminian period around 1890 Dimensions: H x W x D: 105 x 46 x 45 cm, seat height variable from H 46 - 58 cm Description: Quite extraordinary and extremely rare to find in this form piano chair. The baluster legs in front are an absolutely style-typical design feature of the Wilhelminian period. The construction is maximally stable by means of an H-bracing between the legs. The rectangular backrest has an elaborate crown with scroll-like volutes. A striking feature is the column centered above the footrests, which houses the height adjustment mechanism. A small lever on the right side of the seat releases the locking mechanism. The seat can now be moved up and down and locked in ten height positions. Beautiful and so lovingly made are the scales on the left and right under the backrest, which can be used to read off the current position. The mechanism is marked in a circle of the sun: D.R. Patent No 45215. (D.R. - Deutsches Reich - German Empire). A unique piece of furniture and an absolute enrichment for any living room with antique piano. Also useable as high adjustable children chair. Condition: Refurbished and ready for everyday use condition. The surface has been cleaned and oiled. The former wicker was upholstered over in a previous restoration. The upholstery fabric used at the time was replaced with a horsehair cover.
