Catalogue Note
The tabouret is one of a set of six, together with a bench, described by F. J. B. Watson, op. cit., pp. 88-89. Originally the set consisted of twelve stools and four banquettes in the Paris house of Ferdinand Blumenthal (Conte Pecci-Blunt's father). At the time of the writing of the Wrightsman catalogue, part of the rest of the set was in the collection of Mr. Panzer, New York.
