Lot Essay

These rose-flowered 'tabouret' stools are designed in the antiquarian 'New Palace of Westminster' style invented by the architect A.W.N. Pugin (d.1852). Pugin's book Gothic Furniture in the Style of the 15th Century, 1835, popularised the mediaeval fashion and firms such as John C. Crace & Son of Wigmore Street were prodigious exponents of the style. A related pair of stools after a design by A.W.N. Pugin sold; Pomfret House and Tetworth Hall, Christie's South Kensington, 5 November 2008, lot 189.
