Specialist note
The present stool was one of three designs retailed at Liberty & Co in the 1880s. Leonard Wyburd based his models after the 18th dynasty Thebes stools he had seen on display at the British Museum (see Museum number EA2481).
Further mention of these stools can be found in 'The Journal of the Decorative Art Society', no. 27, 2003, pages 81-93.
