Settee – What The Heck Is That?

When I mention using a settee to my clients, some look at me like I have two heads. A what? A settee?…Yes, I said settee. And no, I didn’t stutter. I explain…it’s traditionally a dainty, often tufted sofa that is from the Victorian era…perhaps something your grandmother may have had? Typically, a settee is small in size and has a wooden frame and legs. Although minimal in scale, I have seen a few antique that reach up to 7′ long! With today’s smaller scale living, and the resurgence of antiques, a settee is a great alternative to your typical sofa or bench seat.
