This model of Thebes stool is an exact copy of that discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun opened by Howard Carter in 1922. A number of versions of the Tutankhamun stool were made after its discovery in 1922. A scale drawing, with minor differences to the present lot, was illustrated as the first plate in Danish furniture designer Olé Wanscher's Mobelkunsten, 1952.
