FURNITURES & SEATS OF LOUIS XVth STYLE
Canapé Louis XV
The fauteuil cabriolet appears arund 1740. It is the first armchair which backrest is curved to follow the back's form (in the fashion of the light car seat from which it derives its name). Curved, light and compact, it is comforTABLE and elegant. Maybe too comforTABLE for the learned members of the French Academy who find this chair indecent and unworthy of their Academy.
It should be noted that it is at that time that the name "Canapé was born to indicate this kind of seat. This Canapé Louis XVth in golded wood can be seen to the Art institute  to Chicago
