Catalogue Note
The form of this stool has been heavily influenced by a design in Thomas Hope's Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1807, pl. 12, no. 4. Hope's design, which is derived from a model `reserved for the use of the highest officials in Ancient Rome', is of similar 'X' frame form with lion's paw feet.
