"When Edward VII was just a prince, he was a frequent customer of an exclusive Parisian brothel called Le Chabanais. He was such a frequent patron with such specific requests that they made a special “loveseat” for him. Although this is where we get the name for the tiny sofas we know today, the original loveseat was a chair made to support his weight while he employed the services of multiple women at once."bertie-chair.jpg
