A version of the Thebes stool by Ole Wanscher (1903-1985). Provenance: Modern. Ole Wanscher made scale drawings of the stool from the tomb of Tutankhamun, in the National Museum, Cairo, in 1952, and published them in his major book of the history of furniture, Møbelkunsten, 1955 and the design of the present stool appears to be taken directly from these drawings
