Antique 1860 Dutch Marquetry Window Piano Stool with Hand Dyed Chesterfield Seat

A beautiful antique circa 1860 Dutch marquetry window or piano stool , richly decorative and full of 19th century European character. The stool features elegant Dutch marquetry inlay, with finely detailed floral and foliate decoration adding warmth, charm, and craftsmanship to the frame.

The piece has a graceful occasional form, traditionally suited as a piano stool, window seat, hallway stool, bedroom stool, or decorative country house accent. Its compact proportions make it easy to place, while the detailed marquetry gives it a highly decorative presence.

The seat has been beautifully restored and finished with a hand dyed Chesterfield-style leather seat , giving the piece a rich, aged appearance with wonderful depth and character. The hand dyed leather adds a luxurious contrast to the marquetry frame, creating a smart balance between Dutch antique elegance and classic English upholstery style.

There are expected signs of age and use, including gentle wear, patina, small marks, and minor imperfections consistent with its age. These details add to the authenticity and charm of the piece.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote.

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
