Unusual chair looking for information

hi all I love furniture and have recently got into buying old pieces from selling sites.
I recently bought this unusual chair and when I took it to be upholstered they told me to research the any information about the chair and possibly leave it.
I can’t find any information about the style so thought I’d ask on here.
Any information is Greatly appreciated.
The carved detail is only on one side as if the chair should be displayed side on.

 

Hello, Carly. The people who actually know something about furniture will be along. Meanwhile, my first (uneducated) thought was French Empire for style. Think the carved side is actually the front, & you were meant to drape yourself languidly to the side. Sort of a chaise, except not longue, courte. (I'm making this bit up.) If you do a search for 'French empire chaise', you will see pieces that are similar in feeling.

 

Thank you so much, I tried googling but with out a name it’s hard to get results. This gives me something to go on, much appreciated.

 

That unique chair looks GORGEOUS!!!!! Interesting to see what @verybrad & @James Conrad will think of it!!!!!

 

Welcome, Carly! Love the chair. Just to make sure we understand, when you said the upholstery people said to "possibly leave it," did they mean to not change it from its current finish?

 

Interesting but, I am stumped, don't think i have seen another like it, wait for @verybrad.

 

Yes I wanted it recovered but they said leave it and find out about the chair!

 

Carly, it looks like it might be what is sometimes called a "slipper" chair.

I'm just curious . . . how high is the seat cushion from the floor?

 

Hi,
Methinks it had an ottoman at the bottom so it could line up with a wall that is why it was decorated on only one side. I can see my lady sitting down with her feet up just resting or recovering from the "vapors".

What are the 'Vapors' anyway ? I don't think I've ever had them ... Joy.

 

LOL, uh ohhhh, Greg is in it now!

 

I don't really know either but i think it's related to smelling salts.

 

LOVE the chair .. Joy,

 

35cm, thanks for the info another name to google!

 

Yes maybe seems odd it’s decorated more on one side!

 

Ahhhhh Haaaaaaaaa, 35cm huh, that translates to me that this chair is not American, it would have been helpful to know that.

 

I think i've got the vapors all of a sudden!

 

HaHaHa .. James has the vapors !!

 

AND .. He even likes it that I mentioned his 'Vapors' .. you are too cute James .. LOLOL ... Joy.
