Description
“I simply cannot bear it,” sighed Aunt Colette, sinking onto the yellow chaise in her salon with the back of her hand pressed to her forehead. The children giggled, because Aunt Colette fainted at least twice a week: over a burnt soufflé, over a letter from an old admirer, over the cost of hats on the Champs-Élysées. Then she would sit up, perfectly recovered, and ask who wanted chocolate.
This little fainting couch would have suited her perfectly. Its sunny yellow upholstery glows like butter, a cheerful sun pillow rests against the curved back, and floral accents add a touch of salon elegance. Lift the seat and a hidden compartment appears, just right for a ring, a secret note or a pair of earrings. It is a witty gift for a friend with a flair for drama, a miniature furniture collector, or anyone who believes every afternoon deserves a little lie-down. The curved back and plump seat are painted so convincingly that you can almost hear the springs creak as someone collapses onto it.
