This stool is virtually identical to a set of six stools, which together with a matching suite comprising a settee, a pair of armchairs, and a set of four sidechairs, are in the apartments of Queen Maria Antonia (d. 1785), wife of Vittorio Amedeo III, King of Sardinia (d. 1796), in the Palazzo Reale, Turin.
