This stool is virtually identical to an example owned by the renowned collector Percival D. Griffiths, Esq. which is illustrated in P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London,1927, vol. III, p.172, fig.46 (and reproduced here) and sold in the Arthur Leidesdorf collection, Sotheby & Co., London, 27-28 June 1974, lot 24. The Griffiths stool differs in that it has pierced rather than solid fretwork panels at the tops of legs. Similarly patterned legs are featured on a 'Back Stool' in Mayhew and Ince's Universal System of Household Furniture, 1763, pl.LV.
