專家說明

An identical pair of stools was in the collection of Percival D. Griffiths, F.S.A. (d. 1938), and given the unusual stretcher it is almost certain that the present stools are in fact these (R.W. Symonds, English Furniture from Charles II to George II, 1929, p. 157, fig. 105). Circular stools of this date are less common than their rectangular counterpart. Related examples include a stool 'in the possession of the Duke of Devonshire', and a pair of stools in the collection of General and Mrs. Micklem (H. Cescinsky, English Furniture of the Eighteenth Century, 1911, vol. I, p. 34; R.W. Symonds, The Connoisseur, September 1949, p. 17).
