The stool is shaped like an angular 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 is trimmed with yellow cord around the edge. The sides of the stool are covered in 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. The sloping sides of the stool are formed by a frame of square section uprights which join at the narrowest point in the hour glass shape. The upper half of this frame has four uprights supporting the circular frame for the top and the lower half of the frame also has four uprights which are attached to the inner frame at the bottom.
