Antique settees are a type of couch with a bare wooden splat back that was first made in 18th-century France. It often has a shaped front and high back, standing on cabriole, and with a saber or turned legs. The main distinguishing factor from a stuffed couch is the band of polished wood around the settee’s seat, arm frames, and back.
Many people refer to antique settees as the love seat, even though the two might be completely different pieces of furniture. It often has a high back, wooden legs, and sloped arms. A typical settee would have room for sitting only two people and is ideal for the bedroom, dressing room, and the master bath. As such, they may not act as the formal sofas that you would find in the living room. But that doesn’t mean you cannot blend them in with the rest of your chairs to create a refreshing contrast.
