These Thebes stools were made around the turn of the last century as the popularity of Egyptology gained momentum in England throughout the Victorian period. They are an homage to the stools used by ancient Egyptian royalty and thus it is a style often referred to as Egyptian revival.
Liberty & Co. patented the design of the Thebes stool in 1884, and it continued to be sold until about 1919.
Egyptian-influenced furniture had also been made in the 1850s by Morris, Faulkner & Co. between 1857 and 1858, and designed during the 1870s by Christopher Dresser
(1834-1904) and E.W.Godwin (1833-1886).
