"Designed by the architect Bernard Poyet (1742-1834), as part of a set of seat furniture, including a throne, for the reception of the Emperor Napoleon by the corps l\u00E9gislatif after his coronation in 1805. The stool was one of four. Later the set must have been removed to the Ch\u00E2teau de Saint Cloud, where it was presumably re-upholstered during the period of the Second Empire (1852-71). Another of the set (with modern yellow damask upholstery) was illustrated in 2002 by Michel Beurdely, in Georges Jacob (1739-1814) et son temps (Ch\u00E2teau de Saint-R\u00E9my-en-l'Eau: \u00C9ditions Monelle Hayot, 2002), p. 100."@en .
