Antique Child’s Fainting Couch, Popular During The Victorian Era.

Antique child’s fainting couch. These were popular during the Victorian Era, especially in affluent households. They were used for reading, relaxation, napping, and stylish seating. The term “fainting couch” is a 20th century term. (The adult fainting couches were used for fainting, -usually women and because of the tight corsets and other attire that was required of them at that time). The design is rooted in ancient Greco-Roman furniture. Thank you for looking, and for reading! 😊 Rachel
