Footnote
Note: A. and H. Lejambre produced high-quality furniture in Philadelphia, particularly in the Japanese taste, and the influence of the British reform designer E. W. Godwin is evident in their work. This mahogany stool with its Greek anthemion decoration and brass sabots reflects Godwin's interest, not only in Japanese style but also Greek, Egyptian and Islamic sources.
