| For many centuries, the chair was an article of great state dignity rather than for common use. During the latter half of the 20th century, many people used custom-made transparent plastic covers to protect expensive sofas and chairs from dirt and scratches. “Crazy quilts” are intricately embroidered slumber throws in irregular shapes that became popular during the 19th century. A sofa is also known as a couch, lounge, davenport, chesterfield or settee. |
