A similar chair stamped by Jean-Baptiste II Tilliard is in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, illustrated in Madeleine Jarry, Le Siège Français, 1973, pl. 18.

A gilding report undertaken by Catherine Hassell of University College London concludes that these stools have been regilded twice over what is left of the original water gilding.
