| - The stool is shaped like an hour glass, with a circular top and base. The top is covered with a canvaswork embroidery, in wool and silk, of a pheasant with a floral garland, and trimmed with yellow cord around the edge. The sides of the stool are covered in modern green damask, pleated to fit the shape, with yellow cord and two tassels round the narrowest section in the middle, and braid trimming around the top and bottom of the damask. The base is mahogany, circular, and fitted with four bun feet. Attached to the inner face of this base is the inner pine frame, circular with a square central opening. Four square section struts, attached to this inner frame at the bottom, are screwed together at the top to form a shaped junction at the narrowest part of the hour glass shape. Below the damask it is possible to feel that there are four more struts which support the circular frame for the top. (en)
