Branded merchandise collection - (26) Sgabello/Calzascarpe - Art Nouveau

Stool measuring 65x25x30.5 cm for shoemakers or for shoe fittings (in English known as a shoe fitting stool or shoe shine stool), often in curved wood in Art Nouveau or Thonet style (dated roughly to the late 19th or early 20th century), accompanied by bootmaking care accessories such as brushes, polish, and shoehorns. Vintage metal advertising shoehorn collection, in various colors and with inscriptions from historic shops or bootmakers. Material: metal, except one piece in bone. The stool originated as a fitting stool for clerks and shoeshiners (shoe fitting stool). It was mainly used in upscale shoe stores or by professional shoeshiners: • The padded seat (the green leather one) was positioned at the highest part and was intended for the clerk or craftsman, who sat facing the customer. • The inclined wooden ramp served as a rest for the customer’s foot. The incline allowed the customer to extend the leg comfortably and enabled the clerk to slip, lace, or polish the shoe with maximum precision. The steam-bent wood structure (bentwood) is strongly inspired by the technical innovations introduced by Michael Thonet and his famous Austrian company. • Around 1890–1910, during the Art Nouveau period (or Liberty style), many European manufacturers (including Gebrüder Thonet itself) began producing commercial furniture for shops and hotels using these sinuous and elegant lines.
