Footnotes

• Comparative literature: Tobias Jellinek, Early British Chairs and Seats 1500 to 1700, pp.228-229, pl.294 and 295, illustrates two highly comparable joint stools, probably from the same workshop as found here. The author refers to the two illustrated stools as very fine and extremely rare with the extraordinarily rare 'H' stretcher formation. All have virtually identical bicuspid-shaped friezes, and the same stretcher arrangement formed by a central flat stretcher and rectangular-section channel edge-moulded side stretchers. This is further demonstrated in a fourth example, illustrated Victor Chinnery, Oak Furniture The British Tradition, p.267, fig.3:98. This lot and the three illustrated examples all have slight differences in the design of the leg turning, however, strong similarities prevail and sections of the turning found here are virtually repeated in the aforementioned illustrated examples.
