Scope note
French stools with folding crossed legs; distinct from "tabourets" which have fixed upright legs, and used in domestic environments. For folding stools with ecclesiastical origins generally, use "faldstools." For folding chairs used by bishops or other prelates in the chancel of a church, use "faldistories."
