| FURNITURES & SEATS OF NAPOLEON IIIth STYLE |
   |
| Ever in all preceding centuries one invented and manufactures so much seats. Second half of 19em century was to this title the period of the seat by excellence. Also to each forms of back will be adapted a sofa, sometimes a "chauffeuse", a deckchair or a "duchess". Confidants and the indiscreet are creations of the second Empire. We feels in the profusion of the Tapestry an English influence (the victorian century).Design of flowers in round bouquet, to basket, in garland are the main decorative elements on the tapestries. Nevertheless colonies bring their part in oriental motives (asian especially). preceding style copies are growing and experts of today can again be confused. |
