These elegant stools, with delicate relief-carved foliate ornament, relate to other Turinese stools with similar ornament and proportions, for instance an example in the Palazzina di Stupinigi (illustrated in R. Antonetto, Minusieri ed Ebanisti del Piemonte, Turin, 1985, p. 226, fig. 319), and others illustrated in V. Viale et al., Mostra del Barocco Piemontese, Turin, 1963, figs. 198-9.
