  • Footstool, solid ivory,carved, turned and pieced and partly gilt, with fbp (en)
  • The footstool is of solid ivory, partly turned and partly gilt. It is decorated with gilt dash borders (en)
  • This armchair and its accompanying footstool are based on English furniture designs of 1780-1810. However, they are of solid ivory, embellished with gilding, rather than wood. Such furniture was made in Murshidabad, the nawabi capital of Bengal, which was a renowned centre of ivory carving. William Pitt, 1st Earl Amherst of Arracan, acquired these pieces in India, where he was Governor-General from 1823 to 1828. According to tradition he purchased them from his predecessor Frances, 1st Marquess Hastings. (en)
