Lot Essay

The strong classicizing influence of this richly carved stool relates it to the work of furniture-makers working in Bombay in the early 19th century. A jardiniere attributed to Bombay in the Peabody Museum, Massachusetts, with a similarly lush treatment of classical themes, is ilustrated in A. Jaffer, Furniture from British India and Ceylon, London, 2001, p. 335, cat. 152.
