Unframed early 19th century French painting
on 18th century painted and gilded Italian chair.
The stand alone, one of a kind, quirky, precious antique,
incredible chair as art form…
A collection of Rose Tarlow chairs…
Louis XVI Ratchet chair
Régence beechwood…
reupholstered in 18th century Beauvais tapestry
17th century armchair of carved turned walnut
with original tapestry…
One of my favorite Rose Tarlow pictures…
either antique child’s chair or model chair atop
equally worn amber leather
Love all the golden hues above…this photo deftly mixes in pattern
and stripes in ruddy and indigo tones that relate to the portrait above.
A Thanksgiving palate.

Hi Greet. These chairs are a piece of art masquerading as functional seating. I think that’s why I like the portrait on the chair…seems to make that point.
Very nice way to start out my day, a cup of jo and Trouvais.
I looked at this post several times. I guess I would take a seat in them all.

Hi Lee…I’m a coffee and blog sort of gal myself. Marmalade on toast is an issue sometimes!
Bonjour! I’m new to your wonderfully inspiring site and have so much enjoyed your postings. And this morning, once again, I was brought to a place filled with beauty. Thank you, Trish. I definitely need to rethink my chairs!!
April
Hi April…thank you!
Incredible beauty. You fill my mind every post with such imaginings.
I guess I am giving up on my new (last year) leather Hancock & Moore red leather chairs and accepting their flaws. The leather is so wonderfully soft that they carry the remains of the day on their seats (euphemistically I call it that—really butt marks to be quite frank). I am told that is the hallmark of a good leather chair. Hallmark being another euphemism, of course! I see history on these leather chairs: the same round impression!
Love your euphemisms. I have a suede chair that shows the seams and rivets on one’s jeans.
All gorgeous, I love them all.

Absolutely love the textile on the settee in the last image. This is my color palette, Thanksgiving and otherwise. ~Jermaine~
The reclining chair might come from the house of ” The Earl of Lazy Boy” or at least demonstrates there are no “new” ideas, always beautiful glimpses of once was to feed what our what is…
I look forward to the everyday post visits from here, they either add on to a wonderful day or help disguise a not to great day. Here in my new little town in Oregon “Cottage Grove” the gray clouds full of rain stays around for days so the visual isolation gets my creativeness run down, so I guess you would say I get a charge out of these pictures. If any of you are from here please let me know I would say we have something in common right away .. until .. : )
is it Trish your name?
Thank you for your comment… I’m so happy you found me!
I hope you’ll continue come to visit me!
Love
Gaia
I’m older of your daughter… SIGH!
Hi Gaia. Of course I’ll keep visiting. I miss Italy. And beautiful Italian painted 18th century Venetian furniture…but I digress. Love your photos.
there will never be a turkey looking so good ever-ever- Love the t’giving colors. la
I love the pic of the two chairs together. Wonderful!!
You have such an eye for unique and wonderful objects! And you pick the best images! (Can’t get over your lovely table top outside…)
Happy week and happy Thanksgiving!
