This stool bears a stamp 'C.R.' between a crown which was applied in 1855 on the orders of Maria-Luisa, Duchess of Parma, (1819-1864) after the assassination of her husband, Carlo III, Duke of Parma, (1823-1854) to all furniture in the Ducal palaces in the duchy of Parma. The stamp is followed by the letter 'P' which suggests that this piece was either located in the Ducal Palace in Parma or the Garde-Meuble.
