Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A duchesse brisee is a style of French chaise longue comprised of two or three separate upholstered pieces, typically an armchair and a matching long footstool, designed to combine into a single reclining daybed.

Late nineteenth-century French seating typically features carved hardwood frames, gilding or painted finishes, coiled steel springs, natural webbing, and horsehair stuffing beneath lining or decorative upholstery fabric.

Authentic period pieces often feature original brass castors, turned or hand-carved gilded legs, hand-tacked upholstery lining, and joint construction visible beneath the seat frame.

A duchesse brisee can be positioned in a main bedroom bay window or formal living area, re-covered in contemporary linen or velvet to bridge traditional French form with modern interior schemes.

Dust giltwood legs lightly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth without water or chemical polish, and keep untrimmed lining fabrics in a dry environment prior to final re-upholstery.
