19th-century vis-à-vis conversation chair from France. Two back-to-back seats angled face to face so people could talk close up without turning their bodies or messing up their posture. A Victorian-era favorite for fancy parlors. Let bourgeois folks chat, flirt a little, all while staying proper on those stiff sofas. Solid wood frame, deep cushions, carved details. Total parlor game-changer back then. Still looks sharp today.
