Description
A wonderfully discreet and beautifully aged Louis XV style chaise percee - an elegant example of historic French bedside seating designed with both refinement and practicality in mind.
At first glance, this piece reads as a graceful French side chair, featuring curving cabriole legs, cane panels, and a soft ecru painted finish accented with black trim. Only upon closer inspection does its hidden purpose reveal itself, making it a true conversation piece layered with Old World charm.
The chair retains its original finish, now worn into a warm, time-softened patina that gives it exceptional character. The caning on the seat and panels remains sturdy, with one small hole noted in the side caning consistent with age. The frame is solid and structurally sound.
Historically used as a bedside commode chair (chaise percee), today it makes an unforgettable accent in:
* A dressing room
* A boutique hotel-style bath
* A theatrical powder room
* A bedroom corner
* A design-forward sitting area
It offers both sculptural presence and a story - the kind of piece that elevates a space from decorated to curated.
