Catalogue Note
The present lot, of clear Classical inspiration, is after 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 near identical stool executed in beechwood is illustrated in Frances Collard, Regency Furniture, Woodbridge, 1985, p. 52.
