. . . French chaises longues had a variety of names – all feminine - depending on their precise design: ‘veilleuse,’ ‘ sultane,’ ‘turquoise,’ ‘ meridienne’. The recliner had a raised back at each end and named after the chaise longue in Jacques-Louis David’s famous portrait of Juliette Reclaimer. Such chairs were commonly found in saloons as well as boudoirs, and were chiefly used by women. This was not the case with ‘canapes,’ or sofas, which were a variant on the chaise longue and appeared at the beginning of th eeighteenth century. A charming poster of Francois-xavier V Ispre shows a young man reclining on a canape while reading a book. He is wearing a casual banyan and bright red slippers, and is stretched out full length, comfortably propped by by t pile of cushions. ~ Page 21
