A lounger, also known as a Chaise longue, has a slightly rounded elevated headrest and is long enough to support the legs. It stands on four curved cabriole-style legs. It has a wooden structure made of walnut wood decorated with carving, with a spruce substructure.
The appearance of this type of lounger dates back to the 16th century. They were designed for the daytime rest of the affluent class so they wouldn’t have to retire to their bedrooms, soon becoming a status symbol in wealthier homes. Apart from being household furniture, they were a popular support for models posing as nudes in painting studios.
