Antique 19th Century Loveseats
Nineteenth-century loveseats are charming seating furniture that materialized during a time when prudence was promoted as an important part of social norms. Antique loveseats, also known as tête-à-têtes, were essentially small, two-seat sofas that allowed for people to engage in close conversation but offered space between sitters in the interest of preserving modesty.
Loveseats were initially designed to provide room for womens’ elaborate dresses of the era. These seats can be traced back to the late 1600s, but the now commonly used term for romantic furniture of this kind first appeared in the 19th century. While they were initially little more than wooden benches, the design of loveseats evolved over time. Loveseats of the 19th century were padded and tufted for comfort, as was typical for furniture of the period.
