專家說明

The model for this stool was created by the upholsterer A.M.E. Fournier who worked in the boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris, from 1850 onwards. Its feet, which are in the form of simulated tassels, are significant in the context of the Second Empire in France (1852-1870), when the importance of upholstery and textiles reached its apogee in interior decorating. A pouf à cordes by Fournier is in the Château de Compiègne and is illustrated in H. Hayward, World Furniture, London, 1965, p. 241, pl. 928.
