This beautiful antique fruitwood "Duchesse Brisee" (French for broken duchess), or chaise, was crafted in Provence, circa 1890.

Both rounded and curved backs are decorated with hand carved floral and foliage motifs, and each comfortable seat are dressed with loose cushion. The multiple sections are upholstered with the original green fabric with floral motifs and dressed with decorative brass nail heads.
