The design for these stools directly relates to a pattern for a 'Grecian footstool' published in R. Ackermann's Repository of Arts of 1826, pl. 58 (reproduced here). Ackermann praises this type of stool for its comfort and stability (see P. Agius, ed., Ackermann's Regency Furniture and Interiors, London, 1984, p.88).
