Stools were not common, but are occasionally found, following the styles in chairs. With the wainscot chairs were joined or joint stools.
The stool in Illustration [135] was used with the turned chair, like the one in Illustration [126].

Illustration [136] shows a very rare piece, a Flemish stool, with a carved underbrace, probably like the ones upon the cane-back chairs used with it. These two fine stools are in the collection of Dwight M. Prouty, Esq., of Boston.
A chair once owned by General Henry Dearborn of Revolutionary fame is shown in Illustration [137]. The back and seat were originally cane, and it has a perfect Spanish foot.

The chair in Illustration [138] is of the style called Queen Anne. It has Spanish feet but the back shows the first use of the Dutch splat, afterward developed and elaborated by Chippendale and others. This chair and the one in Illustration [137] belong to the writer.
