Decorating With the Borne Settee
.jpg)
The Borne Settee: Circular, upholstered Victorian ottoman-type sofa, now and again called a verbal exchange seat, which has three or 4 seat divisions and a relevant cone presenting a backrest.
For the longest time I failed to realize what these have been called. In looking for out I discovered that no person else appeared to recognise both. People were asking and were calling them all kinds of names. My favored was the round sofa thingy. It is almost impossible to discover any records about them.I just recently stumbled upon their actual call.....A borne.
The Borne actually arose during Napoléon III’s period in France (mid-1800’s). Depending on the style, three or four people could have a tete `a tete without too much familiarity. You would later see them in High Victorian homes as well. You know those Victorians, sitting there pretending to be so noble, all the while planning their trysts or absorbed in naughty conversation under the guise of unfamiliarity. Now after being be regulated to hotel lobbies, the borne is being embraced again for stylish interiors. People seem to be talking alot about them so maybe we have a new design trend in the making. I have found a few places where more contemporary versions can be purchased. If they regain popularity, just say you saw it here first. LOL
So if you really want to impress your friends,the next time you see one just casually say, "Isn't this a lovely borne?" Enjoy!
The borne has always been associated with old world opulence.

But not anymore!! Even contemporary homes can now enjoy the luxury of this lovely style of sofa.
If you adore blending antiques and contemporary make sure and recollect a borne.
They are great for entryways. I might now not placed one this close to the door, but you get the image.

You should have a borne customized to fit your particular style.

I assume the smooth fashion of the borne and the console desk appearance notable on this room. However I would lose the brown chair and green table.

Since bornes are hard to find and very expensive when you do, I included this picture for you to try as a Do It Yourself project. I know many of you have support columns in your homes. This is a clever way to add interest and conversation seating. You could make it as sleek or fancy an your decor dictates.The possibilities are endless!!
Another amusing idea for developing your very own borne settee!
