Jean-Baptiste Claude Sené, maître in 1769

The unusual treatment of the legs 'à cannelure torses' first appears in the sculpteur Jean-Louis Prieur's designs for seat-furniture supplied to the King of Poland in 1766 and executed by Louis Delanois between 1767-8. Subequently adopted by Sené, this tabouret's distinctive spirally-fluted leg-pattern wrapped with a laurel collar is closely related to the suite of seat-furniture supplied by Sené for Queen Marie-Antoinette at Saint-Cloud in 1767 and now in the Louvre (illustrated in G. Janneau, Les Sièges, Paris, 1967, p.143, no.272).
