Design & Artistry
Premium Rosewood: The stool features a beautifully turned central column and a tri-form base crafted from rosewood, prized for its deep, dark grain and lustrous natural finish.

Sculptural Base: The substantial tri-form platform base provides excellent stability and is raised on three exquisitely carved scroll feet, a hallmark of the William IV style.

Adjustable Height: The original threaded wooden screw mechanism allows the circular seat to be raised or lowered smoothly to accommodate various heights.

Classic Upholstery: The seat is currently finished in a high-quality floral damask fabric in warm gold and cream tones, which beautifully complements the dark wood. It remains in good condition or could be easily recovered to suit a specific interior.
