Deconstructed Napoleon III Chaise Lounge
A quintessential French Napoleon III chaise lounge dating from the late 19th century that was once used in a French boudoir for resting between callers. Fairly low to the ground, the chaise is of solid wood construction with a slightly arched back, with a low outwardly scrolled arm that rests upon elegant-shaped legs.
The chair has been deconstructed (as found) revealing the burlap lining (which we love!), while the remaining cushioned portion of the chair features the original muslin liner, all of which is tacked into place utilizing nailhead trim. The seat back has been tufted utilizing a unique stitched pattern. Original horsehair stuffing is still intact!
Whether left as-is or reupholstered in a fresh linen fabric, this classic lounge is perfect for bringing a bit of French je ne sais quoi to any room of the home.
