In Holz gearbeitet, weiß gefasst und partiell vergoldet mit floraler Polsterung. Das vorgestellte außergewöhnliche Möbel diente nicht etwa dem Zweck, sich einem Mittagsschlaf hinzugeben, sondern war mindestens für eine Person mit bezahlter Arbeit verbunden. Solche Möbel, genannt „Fauteuil de Volupté“, dienten im Bordell dem bequemen Verkehr untereinander, wobei es von bis zu drei oder sogar vier Personen zu bespielen war, welche die komfortable Polsterung sicherlich dankbar aufnahmen.
Amerkung:
Unser Fauteuil kommt demjenigen sehr nahe, den das Maison Louis Soubrier für den Prinzen von Wales, den späteren König Edward VII, für das berühmte Bordell Le Chabanais anfertigte und der im Museum Petit Palais in Paris aufbewahrt wird. Das La Chabanais war ein berühmtes Bordell in Paris, das für sein ausgefallenes Design bekannt war und auf der Weltausstellung 1900 sogar einen Preis gewann. (12918110) (13)
