Known in French as a guérite, meaning ‘sentry’, this gives a clue. Porters’ chairs were designed for the unfortunate member of staff in a large house whose job was to keep watch by the front doors, often in a damp and chilly hallway.
The chair’s high back and enclosed sides protected the hall porter from wind and weather, while the porter protected the household. These days, a porter’s chair is distinguished by its very high back and high end finish. Upholstered in the finest leathers, velvets and fabrics, any of the porters’ chairs at Juliette’s Interiors would create a striking focal point in a glamorous hallway. Button backs, beautiful curved wings or audacious Art Deco styling; sleek modern lines and traditional designs, our extensive range of outstanding chairs has choices to complement every interior. All items are customisable, allowing you to choose the perfect colours and finishes to enhance your own individual style. From its days as a robust and purely functional piece of furniture, the porter’s chair has come of age. A chair originally designed for the staff is now fit for a king.Brooklyn Blonde Chair Pillow Fur Pillow Wicker Chairs Accent Chairs Home Tours Nooks Matt Ideas Para Forwards wooden woven accent chair and potted cactus // Love the mix of textures here from the wood to shag carpet

History of the Chesterfield sofa: The Chesterfield sofa has a rich and interesting history which has lead to it's iconic status. Most likely commissioned for Chesterfield House which was one of the most splendid and magnificent mid-eighteenth-century houses in London. It was built by one of the most fascinating men of his time, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield, a politician and diplomat, wit and letter-writer. His house stood on an unusually large plot and was the first large house to face the park. Its front extended almost from Audley Square to Curzon Street.

Items in the collection – which supposedly each tell “the long history of this prestigious university” – include a striped washbag and a rug with a marble tile pattern. Manufacturers hope the products, which are named after famous Oxford alumni and landmarks, will prove a hit with former students and wealthy Chinese consumers. But the university’s own dons have called the furniture “meretricious” and “inappropriate”. The range, which also incorporates desks, trunks and even leather footballs, launched at the Maison et Objet trade show in Paris last week.
Manufacturers told The Daily Telegraph they are in negotiations to sell the collection in Harrods, John Lewis and Selfridges. The 400-year-old Bodleian Library gives its name to a £3,800 bookcase while John Radcliffe, physician to William III, is commemorated with a £1,700 red leather writing desk. A £2,650 refectory table in the range, called The Oxford Collection, is described as a “Harry Potter-style dining table”. Many of the scenes set in the Great Hall of Hogwarts in the blockbuster wizarding franchise were filmed in Christ Church’s dining hall. Halo Licensing, the Hong Kong-based company that bought the rights to manufacture the furniture, also produces branded products for Kelly Hoppen, the interior designer, and Esquire, the men’s magazine. Serge Gander, its managing director, said: “It is inspired by 800 years of history and archives…The bookcase was inspired by a doorway. The sofa was a reproduction of one I found in a senior common room.
“We have an amazing coffee table inspired by the ceilings of the colleges and a rug inspired by the floor of Christ Church. “We want to introduce the brand as a home and lifestyle brand. The possibilities are endless.” But the university’s academics are sceptical. Peter Oppenheimer, an emeritus professor at Christ Church, said: “Words fail me. It is vulgar, inappropriate and unauthorised by the university at large. “This does absolutely nothing for the university other than cheapen its image.” Prof Oppenheimer is unlikely to be won over by the promotional material, which misspells his college as “Christchurch”. The range includes a £2,700 “senior common room” sofa and a £780 “tutor’s chair”, replete with university crest. Prof Oppenheimer said: “There’s no such thing as a tutor’s chair – tutors sit in whatever chairs happen to be available.” Diane Purkiss, an English tutor at Keble College, added: “My own chair is an ergonomic swivel chair, I’m afraid, as I often teach for eight hours at a stretch.
“We are perhaps the most famous and prestigious university brand name in the world [but] I think it might be time for a note of caution to be sounded about selling that brand too freely and too meretriciously.” But Dr Purkiss said that dons will be more sympathetic to the range if it makes money to plough back into bursaries and teaching. Mr Gander believes the range will sell particularly well in China. “New China loves the old world and something that is really, really authentic,” he said. The licensing deal was negotiated by Oxford Limited, the wholly-owned university subsidiary that manages its logo and rights. The firm produced a 48-page “styleguide” to entice companies to manufacture Oxford-branded products. The guide, seen by The Daily Telegraph, says that the Oxford “brand lends itself naturally to high-quality products which can be effortlessly positioned in a premium price bracket.” It lists “reference brands” for the university, including the clothing company Abercrombie and Fitch, Farrow and Ball paint, Paul Smith and The Sims computer game.
