...a lovely post as always. That dragon armchair is a slight to behold!
S+S
loving this collection of chairs!
These are not chairs but thrones. And I agree that the dragon does drag on my heart.
Love the dragon one: so many images rush into one's mind—Beatrice Lillie in "Thoroughly Modern Millie," "The Last Emperor," an oil portrait of Madame Wellington Koo, and, of course, Tzu Hsi! One could never relax it in though. But it's a throne, more or less ... why would want to relax in it?
That dragon chair is INSANE!
AL - relaxing is overrated.
Thombeau - and perfect for the chateau.
LOL! But of course! I'll take two.
