These stools were probably commissioned from Gillows of Lancaster by James Henry Leigh or his wife. The 'LL' stamp below a coronet presumably refers to the Barons Leigh. Though the first title had died out in the 18th Century, the son of Henry James Leigh, Chandos Leigh (b. 1791) was created 1st Baron Leigh of Stoneleigh of the second creation on 18 May 1839.
