Bassett has faithfully recreated the antique French throne chair
and added playful upholstery

Throne chairs have the happy effect of creating a special space wherever they are placed.

Our friend, MaryBeth, created her “breakfast nook” with a comfortable throne chair like this one, set by a window where she can sit with her bowl of granola and watch the morning grow.

Others find they are perfect for reading by the fireplace. Or they can become a “thinking chair” for times of creative thought in the studio or office.

Where will you create your favorite spot with a comfortable throne chair?

When Bassett Furniture Company set out to produce a made-in-America reproduction of a French antique, they must have had fun examining and measuring and considering just what it is we love about these old throne chairs.
Their result is a very faithful copy. The generous proportions, angles, styling, and carvings are a near-perfect match to an 1800s antique French throne chair that recently sold on ebay for nearly $1000.

The upholstery chosen for this particular piece is a delightful patchwork of palm trees, pachyderms, and palanquins, woven into a dense, tapestry look that evokes the French colonial era in a lighthearted way.

Unless you need to have a true antique for some reason (and there are such reasons), take advantage of this affordable way to bring timeless elegance into your collection.
