The term "chauffeuse" refers to a low chair designed for sitting near the fire (hence its name, derived from the French word chauffer, meaning "to warm"). This particular piece, dating from the late 19th century in the Napoléon III style, has been reupholstered in a delicate almond green velvet, giving it a soft and sophisticated allure.

With its elegant proportions, this chauffeuse is perfect for a bedroom or a cozy reading nook. The front legs, crafted in darkened, twisted wood and equipped with wheels—characteristic of the period—add both charm and practicality.

Timeless and versatile, this piece not only invites relaxation but also adds a touch of refinement to any interior.
