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.

Farrago Design is a New York–based design studio creating collectible furniture and home accessories that marry craftsmanship with contemporary design. Founded with a mission to revive traditional techniques in a modern context, Farrago works directly with artisans to create heirloom-quality pieces using materials such as hand-carved bone, horn, sand-cast metals, and semi-precious stones. Our work sits at the crossroads of art and function and includes three collections. The Sand Collection features intricately hand-cut bone and horn inlays set into wood and sealed with a water-based resin. The patterns—subtle, organic, and architectural—are fully customizable, making these pieces ideal for bespoke residential and hospitality projects.
The Water Collection explores the sculptural potential of metal, using sand-casting techniques to create fluid, one-of-a-kind forms in Bronze, Aluminum, Brass etc, From side tables to lighting, each piece is cast in a single-use mold, making it truly unique adding texture and movement.
The Earth Collection celebrates the raw beauty of the natural world, incorporating hand-set minerals like pyrite, selenite, and semi-precious stones into bold, luxurious designs. Every piece is made to order and can be customized in scale, material, and finish.
