Featured is a 19th Century Victorian Tete a Tete Conversation Chair, which has been reupholstered in a plush neutral fabric.
Typically, the "Courting Chair" is comprised of two chairs facing opposite directions so the couple could converse without truly touching as a chaperone read on a nearby chair or did needlework. Also called a “conversation chair” or “tête-à-tête,” and sometimes referred to as a “gossip chair,” these chairs were designed to allow intimate conversations to be had discreetly. Most have some type of “blocking” feature, such as a shared arm placed between the two chairs.
