1 Answer
What is a Victorian-style couch called?
What a Victorian-style couch is called depends on its design. A long, low sofa with an exposed, carved wood frame is a settee. Sofas with arched backs and dramatically rolled arms are camelback sofas. Fainting couch or chaise longue is the term for a Victorian sofa with a slightly reclined headrest on one end and a rolled arm on the other. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Victorian sofas.
