Our pair of footstools presents the marked characteristics of a Gujarati maker active at the turn of the 20th century. The square shape, the marked gadroons and deep repoussé large rosette composed of strapwork within foliate motifs point towards the workshops of Chhaganlal and Vrajlal Tribhuvan, sons of Raghunatu Tribhuvan, a specialist craftsman who produced silver and brass-covered furniture.

For a similar veneered example, albeit in silver, see A. Jaffer, Furniture from British India and Ceylon, London, 2001, p.312.

Other related footstools by this maker sold at Christie's King Street, 22 May 2008, lot 310.
