I absolutely LOVE these dome chairs!! they remind me of Medieval times. They are just one of the latest fabulous and unique finds at Alabama Furniture 2200 Yale, in Historic Heights area.

It’s a reproduction of a French regency period chair that retains the dramatic dome and deep wings of the original which were intended to fend off drafts in the grand chateaux of 18th-century France. According to exoticexcess.com, in the grand chateaux of 18th-century France, the porter who would be stationed by the entrance to admit visitors would have sat in a chair much like this.

The dome chair is said to block out some of the noise when you sit in it making it a perfect chair for reading and relaxing!!
