From the museum
Although this tabouret is undocumented, its design, with its interlaced ovoid forms, gilt cast metal mounts, and mother-of-pearl inlays, is so close in style to the Cleveland Museum of Art’s celebrated tea table (1991.45) that it too can be assigned to Bugatti's Parisian period and dated about 1907. Carlo Bugatti's son Ettore founded the luxurious car company Bugatti Automobiles.
