From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

This armchair once decorated the entrance hall of the Château du Champ de Bataille in Normandy, the ancestral home of the French line of the Dukes of Harcourt. It would have provided comfortable seating for weary guests who had just arrived, or encouraged visitors to linger in conversation before they moved into the dining room to enjoy a meal or into the cabinet to negotiate some business. France, Europe
