Tête-à-Tête or Courting Chairs
In the 18th and 19th centuries, young courting couples would sit in chairs that allowed them to face each other, but keep a high level of propriety. These chairs were called tête-à-tête chairs, courting chairs, or kissing parlors.

ReplyDeleteI just found this exact piece in a antique store today, how much do these pieces sell for? It's the same exact bench you have in your photos.
