WINDOW SEAT

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 713 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WINDOW SEAT , a miniature sofa without a back, intended to fill the
recess
  of a window. In the latter
part
  of the 18th
century
 , when tall narrow
sash
  windows were almost universal, the window ,seat was in high favour, and was no doubt in keeping with theformalism of Georgian interiors. It differed much in decorative detail, but little in form. It stood as high from the
floor
  as a chair; the two ends were identical, with a roll-over curve, more or less pronounced. The seats and ends were usually upholstered in
rich
  fabrics which in many cases have remained intact. The legs followed the fashion in chairs and were square and tapered, or, somewhat later, round and needed. Hepplewhite and the
brothers
 
Adam
  designed many graceful window seats, but they were produced by all the cabinet-makers of the period.
