As with the Noah's Ark, each species of furniture was ranked with its own kind: chairs with chairs, settees with settees; clocks with clocks, desks and cabinets and highboys standing in stiff ranks opposite.

But really, it looks like this most of the time, because the dining room doubles as the stockroom for Enitan Vintage, Akinnagbe's three-year-old furniture business, in which he restores baroque settees and wingbacks of Western provenance, then re-dresses them primarily using West African Dutch wax fabrics.

In the current issue of the Weekly Standard, Kristol, shot back in an essay called "Donald and Decadence": There's no reason to believe most D.C. lobbyists would recognize such a threat if it strolled into their well-appointed offices and plopped itself down on one of their well-upholstered settees.

Decorators like Hampton — and like Angelo Donghia, who outfitted apartments for Diana Ross and Ralph Lauren before dying of an AIDS-related illness in 1985 — transformed grand Fifth Avenue domiciles once bedecked with uncomfortable, inherited cane-backed settees into cushy sanctuaries adorned with the pattern-mad chintz of English country manors.

"Make yourself at home / We got diesel or some of that homegrown" he says, evoking memories of weed-reek living rooms stretching from "Mile End to Ealing / From Brixton to Bounds Green"—or indeed any suburban neighborhood where the amorphous tagliatelle of roads, drives, ways, and crescents are potted with red-eyed meetings between people on settees.

His next three albums lost some of the initial magic, but they're also chapters in a story that's as unique to British rap music as it is honest: moving from fag-stained settees into celebrity culture and then escapism, with tales of spread-betting addiction, disease (Skinner has been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME) and loss of family along the way.

Then on 16 February Centaur, Argo, and Leviathan attacked the town of Cambrelles. Once the defenders had abandoned their battery, the boats went in. The British dismounted the guns, burnt five settees, and brought out another five settees or tartanes laden with wine and wheat. One tartan, Velon Maria, was a letter of marque, armed with one brass and two iron 12-pounders, and two 3-pounders.

Cruising off Alicante in June and July, Pearl captured three more Ragusan ships, a French settee, two Spanish settees and a xebec. Then, on 20 July, the crew of Pearl took part in a cutting out expedition which resulted in the capture of two xebecs and six settees. Shortly after the action a storm blew up and three of the prizes had to be scuttled but not before the cargo was removed.

These ships intercepted a coastal convoy at the entrance to the harbour, burning four settees and coming under ineffective fire from the Toulon batteries.James, p. 262 From prisoners removed from the settees, it was learned that Bruix was at sea to the eastwards and Keith immediately acted on the information by setting off in pursuit. Off Fréjus Keith's force encountered the British armed brig Telegraph the commander of which reported that the French were off Vado Ligure.

Spain had re-entered the war as an ally of France in 1796 and in January 1800, Pearl took both a Spanish brig, and a French brig with accompanying settee. Then on 9 February, near Narbonne, she drove ashore and destroyed a large Genoese polacca of 14 guns. The crew escaped as did the small convoy of settees that were being escorted. While off Marseilles, Pearl captured a Genoese brig and settee on 28 April, two more Genoese settees on 2 and 3 May and, with the fourth-rate, , a Ragusan brig on 20 May.

Pearl captured four more settees on 31 August, destroyed a further two on 11 October and on the same day, she took a French ketch on its way to Nice. Two Genoese ships were taken on 14 October and three French settees the following day while a fourth was burned. Pearl received a share of the prize money for a transport, wrecked off Minorca and salvaged on 20 October with the aid of the 18-gun sloop , the 8-gun bomb vessel , and the 6-gun tender . On 31 October, Pearl with Lutine, Strombolo, the 20-gun corvette and the 12-gun polacca, Transfer, took another transport from Port Mahon.

One tartan, the Velon Maria, was a letter of marque, armed with one brass and two iron 12-pounders and two 3-pounders. She had a crew of 14 men. Then on 16 March 1799, she and Cormorant drove the Spanish frigate Guadaloupe aground near Cape Oropesa. Guadaloupe, of 40 guns, was wrecked.Norie (1842), p. 275. In June, Centaur was involved in a brief action off Toulon before elements of Admiral Keith's fleet joined her.

On the lower level, there was a 26-seat passenger area. Behind that was a small kitchen and small buffet area. At the end of the car was the "Skyline Coffee Shop", a 17-seat buffet area with "curved settees, banquette seats and tables." In 1982 Via eliminated the lower-level passenger section and small buffet area, replacing them with a dining room and snack bar, respectively.

Olympian and Alaskan (steamers with schooner rigs, tall chimneys and walking beams) laid up in Portland, Oregon sometime before May 1889, at the OR&N; steamboat boneyard. After Olympian arrived in Portland in January 1892, it was never used again. No boiler replacement ever occurred. In 1895 expensive furnishings from Olympian, the armchairs, settees, and lounges, were installed in the OR&N;’s Columbia river sternwheeler R.R. Thompson.

She was licensed to carry 250 passengers in 132 cabin berths and on 60 deck settees. Cargo capacity was 350 tons. When fully loaded, the ship was capable of transporting 11,000 cases of canned salmon, in addition to 30 tons of boxed fish in refrigerated storage. The net effect of these combined attributes was one of the most graceful liners ever to sail the BC coast, and a fine sea-boat as well.

The fabric used was the same Boudin had selected for the wall covering, but trimmed with a French-made decorative silver tape. Several significant pieces of antique furniture were acquired and placed in the room by du Pont. Among these were card tables, "Martha Washington" chairs, a secretary (by Baltimore furniture maker Joseph Burgess), side chairs, a sofa (formerly owned by Daniel Webster), settees (from Massachusetts), urn stands, and work tables. Many items of furniture were reupholstered in white.
|

Walls were panelled and carved with decorated pillars, all in white. As seen in first class, the dining room was situated lower down in the ship on the saloon deck. The smoking and ladies' rooms occupied the accommodation space of the second-class promenade deck, with the lounge on the boat deck. Cunard had not previously provided a separate lounge for second class; the room had mahogany tables, chairs and settees set on a rose carpet.

At the same time, other boys turned off the gas lights, and in the darkness the officers escaped out the door. The boys then barricaded the doors and proceeded to use settees as battering rams on the barred windows. They destroyed all the desks and other furniture in the classrooms and were able to gain access to the roof. The superintendent summoned Edwin B. Harvey, a trustee from Westborough, and informed him of the riot and asked that he immediately ride over.

Apart from traditional furniture in a wide range of three piece settees, headboards, beds, garden swings, dressing tables, rocking chairs, tables, screens, divan, etc., other handicraft innovations introduced in this format are wall-hangings, pedestal lamps, flower vases and pen stands, toys, kitchen ware and support for hammocks. Though the design appears fragile, the furniture is durable and lasts for a long period. It is a custom among the Gujarati community to gift this traditional furniture as an auspicious gift during marriage.

A pair of settees flanks a leafed tabletop with an impressive high-gloss finish. Hatches and portlights flood the area with natural light and ventilation. The forward berth, which can be closed off for privacy with a solid teak door, continues the decorating scheme ... It might be hard to believe that everything you’re seeing from the interior vantage point is part of a module that was completely assembled outside the hull. A few years ago, Luhrs began modularizing the cabins on its fishing boats.

There were large pier glasses at each end of the room, and folds of rich-looking tapestry fell over the doors. I remember also seeing statuettes in bronze of Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. Leaving the dining room, a passage was entered, and at the north end of this was a sitting room, and at the south end was the drawing-room, which was furnished in the rich and elaborate style of the period, the chairs and settees being covered. with gold-figured satin.
|
|
The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with two straight settees in the main cabin, one of which converts to a double and two quarter berths aft, one on each side. Unconventionally there is no bow "V" berth and instead the bow is occupied by a large head, instead. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "L"-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner alcohol-fired stove, an icebox and a stainless steel sink.

The Royal Navy commissioned her in 1809 under the command of Lieutenant Edward Blaquiere. On 22 June 1810 Ortenzia was off the coast of Calabria. When , Commander John Toup Nicholas, arrived, Blaquiere informed Toup that a French convoy of 51 vessels were anchored off Cirella, a small town some 30 miles south of the Gulf of Policastro. The next day Pilot and Ortenzia came up under sweeps, the wind being calm, and observed that the convoy was under the escort of five settees and eight gunboats.

" Façade of Palazzo Barberini While Ambassador in Rome, Kirk lived in the Barberini palace, which he redecorated. He filled a large enclosure the size of a tennis court with "Renaissance tables and settees covered in ivory silk," according to Life magazine, to create what he termed "a sort of cozy sitting room."Life: Noel F. Busch, "Alexander Kirk," August 13, 1945, accessed January 23, 2011 When Life profiled him in 1945, it reported that he had always established fine residences wherever he was posted: "The Ambassador is fond of houses, and especially big ones.

A favorite rendezvous of many Nieuw Amsterdam passengers was the handsome First Class Smoking Room with its rich Circassian walnut paneling and deep, luxurious armchairs and settees. Flanked by two enclosed sun verandas extending to the sides of the ship, the Smoking Room had its own modern bar stocked with a connoisseur choice of fine liquors. First Class staterooms on the Nieuw Amsterdam were unusually attractive, ranging in size from cozy single person cabins to elaborate cabins-de-luxe. The handsome and modern decorative scheme made the cabins comfortable spots for daytime and evening relaxation.

This battery in possession, the British drove the French at the point of the bayonet and pursued them through the defences to the heights that commanded the town, leaving it entirely at the mercy of the British ships. This enabled under Captain Sir John Sinclair to enter the mole and capture three gun boats and 24 merchant settees and tartans. The success of the venture was in large part owed to the gallantry of Coghlan and the marines under his command, as was later highlighted in Ussher's letter to Sir Edward Pellew.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed the house on a grid of 60 and 120 degree angles which formed a series of parallelograms. The grid lines are poured in the concrete floors, and the ceiling has the same grid lines reflected in small strips of wood. The house is constructed from salmon colored concrete-blocks, steel beams, glass and Philippine mahogany. Wright drew up plans for the furniture, further unifying the look with a dining room table, the lines of which mirror the grid in the floor, built-in settees, lamp tables and book shelves.

Sir John Louis was appointed captain in October 1811 and took Aigle to the Mediterranean. Aigle and used boats to land marines and seamen near the harbour of Campo del Porto, Elba, on 20 June 1813. When the batteries protecting the town were over-run and the troops there routed, the French scuttled three of their own ships to prevent them from becoming prizes. The following morning, having returned to the boats, the marines captured a small convoy of three settees and drove the brig protecting them into Portoferraio.

Six large Italian Baroque paintings hang opposite the windows of the gallery. All that remains of the original furnishings are three marble mosaic console tables and upholstered settees. After the revolution of 1918, which overthrew the monarchy, the Weimar Republic allowed 34 train wagons of furniture from the palace to be sent to the exiled Wilhelm II at Huis Doorn in the Netherlands. This is the reason why the furniture in the upper rooms formerly lived in by Wilhelm II and his consort Empress Augusta Viktoria comes from elsewhere.

Still, the British captured 156 vessels, three of which were armed: the gunboat Bacchus (one long brass 24-pounder gun and four swivel guns), an unknown gunboat, and the xebec St Antonio (pierced for 12 guns with two long 6-pounders mounted). The British sank two of the armed vessels, brought out one, as well as 13 settees carrying salt, tobacco, marble, and sundries. Furieuse kept up a steady fire, preventing reinforcements from Civitavecchia from intervening. The landing party lost two men killed and 10 wounded in the operation.

By doing this, placing the heads and galley side by side in the widest part of the boat, C&C; was able to make them both more spacious and workable. This does move the main cabin forward somewhat into a slightly narrower section of the hull, eliminating the possibility of pilot berths outboard of the settees. This aft head layout was first seen in the C&C; Landfall series. The other departure is the inclusion of the full width aft cabin, first seen in the C&C; 44 from a few years previous.

The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of . The design has sleeping accommodation for six to eight people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees on either side of a drop-leaf table in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side or optional dual aft cabins. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "L"-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, a capacity icebox and a single stainless steel sink.

In the spring of 1803 Boyle was given command of the 32-gun frigate and ordered to the Mediterranean, where he was actively employed under Nelson during an important part of his Lordship's command on that station. On 11 July 1804, three of Seahorses boats took part in an action against twelve French settees, most of them laden with cargo, lying at La Vandour, in the bay of Hyères. Most of the French vessels were set alight by parties of the British frigates HMS Seahorse, and .William James: The Naval History of Great Britain, Vol III, p. 270.

The building underwent two major renovations: In the 1870s and 1880s the box pews were removed, replaced by settees, and the pulpit was replaced by a platform. Quarters were built for the selectmen to meet, and for a space that housed first the library, and then a kitchen. In the early 19th century, a bell was donated to the town, resulting in the construction of a Victorian tower and belfry, and a gradual restyling of the interior to Victorian styles. This readaption of an older town hall is distinctive in the region, where most towns built new town halls.

The boats then entered the harbour, and captured three gun-boats and 24 merchant settees and tartans. Losses sustained by the British were four marines killed and 16 men wounded. In late 1813 Ussher was stationed by Sir Edward Pellew off Toulon with a small squadron under his orders to watch the movements of the French fleet. In April 1814 while off Marseille, and in company with , Captain Charles Napier, Ussher received a deputation, consisting of the mayor and civil authorities of the city, who informed him of the abdication of Bonaparte, and of the formation of a provisional government.

Kohler Co. was co-founded in 1873 by Austrian immigrant John Michael Kohler and Charles Silberzahn with the purchase of the Sheboygan Union Iron and Steel Foundry from Kohler's father-in-law, Jacob Vollrath, for $5000. Early products included cast iron and steel farm implements, castings for furniture factories, and ornamental iron pieces including cemetery crosses and settees. A breakthrough came in 1883 when John Michael applied enamel to a cast-iron horse trough to create the company's first bathtub. The company has been primarily in the plumbing business ever since, and is known for its plumbing fixtures.

Du Pont chose a white cotton with delicate embroidered vines in green and gold for the Massachusetts settees, and an ivory silk with multicolored flowers for the Webster sofa. The various chairs were covered in either a white damask with a medallion pattern, a green-on-white silk brocade (inspired by Robert Adam), or a buff, green, or gold silk of contemporary design and weave. With the new window and wall upholstery in place by early 1963, Boudin suggested upholstering all the furniture in the room in green. But for reasons which are unclear, he only changed one item, a Louis XVI-style armchair acquired in 1963.

It was popular among the upper classes to have a main public room, called a salon de estrado, to be covered in rugs and cushions for women to recline in Moorish fashion. Stools and later chairs and settees were added for men. Starting in the seventeenth century when the Manila Galleon sailed regularly from the Philippines to the Pacific port of Acapulco, folding screens or biombos (from the Japanese byo-bu or "protection from wind") were among the luxury goods brought from Asia. They are known to have been brought by 1610 and were subsequently produced by Mexican artists and artisans in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Described at the time as "a fantasy for afternoon tea", the room was intimate and richly decorated. It featured a sumptuous colour scheme of grey, purple and white, featuring a soft grey carpet, a silk upholstered dado, chairs and settees upholstered in a rich rose-purple, and silver painted tables with high-backed chairs. The walls were painted a simple white, with a high level frieze of coloured, mirrored and leaded glass panels. One side wall contained the fireplace and, opposite, the other wall featured one of Margaret MacDonald's most famous works, the gesso panel inspired by Rossetti's sonnet O Ye, all ye that walk in Willow Wood.

Beneteau 331 The Beneteau 331 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of solid fibreglass with the deck balsa-cored. It has a masthead sloop rig, aluminum spars, a deck-stepped mast, a raked stem, a walk-through reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel, shoal draft keel or lifting keel. It can be equipped with a spinnaker of . The interior layouts vary, based on the model and role, but a typical layout has sleeping accommodation for four to six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin around a drop-leaf table and an aft cabin with a double berth.

Its interior, rather than being based upon moulded pans and liners of the cruiser/racer 37/40+, is organized around a series of plywood longitudinals and bulkheads. These plywood members are rigidly glassed to the hull and contribute considerably to the strength and stiffness of the hull. The massive aluminum chainplates are bolted to sturdy plywood webs which form the back of the settees. The aft cabin was usually not enclosed on the standard 37R but an enclosed aft cabin version, marketed as the R+ interior, was an option, as were other cruising amenities found standard on the sister 37+, such as hot and cold pressure water and 110 volt shore power.

Their furniture showroom was located at 896 Broadway and later 20 West 57th Street, with a factory located on West 19th Street, and later a six- story brick building at 104 and 106 East 32nd street. Over the course of three decades, they furnished a number of important buildings in New York City including the New York Produce Exchange, the Columbia Bank, and the Union Square Savings Bank; hotels including The Knickerbocker Hotel (Manhattan) and the St. Regis; social clubs including the Criterion Club, Progress Club, and Colonial Club; and the yachts of William Backhouse Astor, Jr., and other clients. Herts Brothers was active in two major expositions. Their exhibit at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia displayed a bedroom scene with canopy bed, dresser, tables, settees, curtains, portraits on the walls, and a mirror.

Scallop shells received a particular share of favor, having been recently brought home from foreign seas, and was immediately seized by the designers in need of other shapes. The Flemings made seats that enclosed the sitter in the valves of this scallop, carved just rudely enough to excuse their eccentricity. Settees were made at this time whose backs consisted of several just such immense scallops as those of these Holland House Gilt Chamber chairs; and the same idea of decoration peeps out in fan-like frills at every spare corner of the Neo- Jacobean revival of the style. These shell forms of furniture might befit an oceanside home, but they must have been singularly out of place on dry land and among the huge and heavy articles that surrounded them in the Jacobean mansions.

An advertisement from the time period shows how extensive the catalog of cast-iron products available had become, including: "walls, floors, doors, windows, roof, porticoes, balconies, cornices, vaults, ventilators, fences, gates, fountains, vases, statuary, chairs, settees, gas and water fixtures, a heating apparatus, ranges or cooking stoves, parlor stoves, grates, brackets, stable fixtures, iron pavements, pots and kettles, culinary implements, bedsteads, in fact everything except beds and bedding, and science will doubtless ere long find some means of remedying this apparent difficulty." In the 1870s, Hayward & Robbins moved an increasingly large amount of its business into the nascent gas holder industry. Senior partner David L. Bartlett became president of a new company, the Consumer's Mutual Gas Light Company of Baltimore, and Hayward & Robbins was contracted to build its plant. The company's earliest gas holders made use of the ornate architectural column molds that had been designed for their earlier commercial architecture.

By 1912, the Alexandria had become such an important gathering place that the Los Angeles Times wrote the following: > "What Union Square was to old New York, what Forty-second street is to the > present metropolis, and what the vicinity of the Cort Theater is to San > Francisco, the Alexandria mezzanine seems to be to theatrical Los Angeles. > ... Hardly ever does the day pass in which some nationally-known actor or > actress does not linger in the low settees or pause at the golden rail, > looking down into the lobby below -- pausing, lingering, while in whispered > tones behind rises the chatter that his or her presence has caused." Rudolph Valentino, whose untimely death at age 31 caused mass hysteria among his female fans, was a regular visitor to the dances held at the Alexandria's great ballroom. Actress Claire Windsor recalled that, when she and Valentino were "$5-a-day extras", they rode the streetcar from Westlake Park to dance in the Palm Court.

Captain Ayscough landed with the troops, but finding little to do on shore returned to his ship where he engaged the enemy's batteries, and succeeded in destroying several gun-boats. The British captured several coastal batteries and about 300 men, but the main body of the enemy under General Colonna, held out in the Castello Aragonese until 30 June before eventually surrendering. In total 1,500 men were taken prisoner, and almost 100 guns and their stores were captured. On 26 June 1809 gunboats under Ayscough's direction assisted in the capture and destruction of 18 armed gun- boats which were attempting to reach Naples from Gaeta. On 30 July 1809 she captured two French privateers off the island of Kythira, one mounting nine carriage-guns and four swivels and a crew of 78, the other one gun and 20 men. In November 1809 Success conveyed the Turkish Ambassador and his suite from Smyrna to Malta. On 4 April 1810, while off Falerna, Ayscough observed two 100-ton settees being loaded on the beach.

Miller (2005) p. 80 rather than the French ones which were more oblong. As in the Baroque style, furniture for the wealthy was usually gilded with silver, gold or bronze. Middle-class families and Lombard workshops left furniture unpainted, and was often made with fruitwoods or walnut.Miller (2005) p. 80 Armchairs and couches had several cartouches and cabriole legs as in French designs, but usually looked more like joined-together seats in the English fashion.Miller (2005) p. 80 Italian settees tended to be low, and were usually placed in the borders of ballrooms and entrance halls for decoration or for seating at parties and balls.Miller (2005) p. 81 Console and side tables, however, remained very similar to the Baroque ones, often very rich in decoration, with caryatids and putti, and carvings gilded in gold and bronze. However, one major difference was that tables were given specific roles and were uniquely labelled. Trespoli served as commodes in bedrooms, to hold a candle and possibly some prized possessions and a crucifix,Miller (2005) p.
