Catalogue Note
The present lot is nearly identical to a design for a seat from Tatham's Etchings of Ancient Ornamental Architecture drawn from the Originals in Rome and Other Parts of Italy during the years 1794, 1795 and 1796, pl. 46. A nearly identical stool executed in beechwood is illustrated in Frances Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1985, p. 52. Charles Heathcote Tatham worked under Henry Holland, joining him in 1789. He went to Italy between 1794-97 and made detailed drawings of antique furniture and architectural elements in order to provide Holland with new ideas for designs. His published work of Etchings was hugely popular, a number of drawings being used by Thomas Hope in his Househould Furniture of 1807.
