The Sack Back Settee is derived from the Sack back chair. With a seat width of 46" this settee offers more than double the seating area of a single chair, and can comfortably seat two adults. In the mid 1700's Settees were often used in the gardens, hallways, and dining areas of private homes. They often were much longer often having 8 to 12 legs. Dimensions: 45" W x 23" D x 38" H

The Low Back Settee or “double chair” was popular in the 1750’s before the classic period of 1770 to 1830 when chairs such as the sack back and continuous arm were in vogue. In addition to its unique appearance this chair sits a bit higher and a bit straighter than other Windsor Chairs. Dimensions: 48" W x 17" D x 31" H

Tete a Tete; French for "head to head". Historically this chair never existed. The Tete a Tete form originated in France around 1850. I have married the form with the Continuous Arm chair which originated around 1780 in the NYC area. The style has been known by various names such as courting bench, kissing bench and conversation chair. Shown with black over red antique finish.
