A pair of dog kennels from the Louis XV period, also intended for dual use as tabourets, is in the Wrightsman Collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (illustrated in F.J.B. Watson, The Wrightsman Collection, New York, 1966, vol.I, cat. 68, pp. 98-9), while the inventory of Madame de Pompadour's bedchamber in the Château de Saint-Hubert in 1763 listed 'Une niche en tabouret, pour 2 chiens'.
