Elements oF Style - Hooded Chair

The porter's chair dates back to 16th century France.
These chairs were commonly used for protection from the draughts
when the gatekeeper of a well-to-do family would would sit at the front
of the home and screen guests or visitors upon arrival.
................
These days, one can find porter's chair at flea market
or antique gallery; and you can use any kind of
materials to reupholster the chair.

Placing porter's chair at the foyer or sitting room
would create a dramatic statement.

And it is charming and intimate experience
when used in a dinning room.
