The Malplaquet (a gentleman's armchair in the Georgian style)
The Pakefield Wingback (a replica from the first decade of the 20th century capturing a ‘no-nonsense’ simplicity)
The Capucine (named after the similarity of its shape to a nun’s veil)
The Combray (robust & roomy replica of a 19th century French chair, with a chapeau de gendarme shaped back)
The Percy (named after the Pimpernel himself, this 1940s French replica is a low, very comfortable, country chair)
One of the loveliest things about Blogging is that someone else thinks you worthy of a special treat. I was thrilled to receive these Awards recently - thank you so much to each of the Treaters, you really made this Treatee's day!

I love all of the chairs, but the whole time I was reading this post I couldn't help thinking of MOTH out cold in a spare room on an I.V. drip until Christmas is over. Funny. If he is awake maybe he should take a look at Pink's video and be thankful that he doesn't have to work at the animal shelter this Christmas. Loads of Love, Heidi
ReplyDeleteWell, Mill's, I love The Percy and The Scroll Back. I would buy some grain sack pillows for them, as I am SO into them at the moment. Nice to know that I can buy these chairs in London too.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your awards. I can't think of a better blog or nicer person to receive them.
Just a little foot (!) note.....has MOTH read your last post and the comments that were made ? Hoping that he has snapped out of it !!!! XXXX
Beautiful chairs!
ReplyDeleteRegarding MOTH, perhaps he is now just playing the role of Scrooge? Kinda liking all the attention he's gettin'?
It might be an idea to ignore him...maybe one Christmas you do simply nothing, no prepping, and plan out loud your trip to the SPA!!! AND DO IT!
;D, He is welcome anytime to a dose of holiday cheer!

Your Xmas radical - Victoria,
who is happy for you stopping by!
Fabulous chairs! My fave would have to be the Capucine. Tres chic.
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved the showcase of chairs. I go for the Combray or Percy, because I think my toes might actually touch the floor. A back pillow would be a must - useful as well as ornamental reasons.
ReplyDeleteMillie,
ReplyDeleteLove the chairs. Thanks for the source. Hope all is well.

I love a good chair! They are all so beautiful I cannot choose a favourite. Well done on all your awards always a delight to stop by your place Millie! Ax
ReplyDeleteGosh it was hard picking a favorite chair, just gorgeous the lot of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with having cushions and getting comfortable.
re comment, that was so funny, I was scared just posting them, felt like they may stick a stiletto in my eye.

Scroll Back for me Millie, and like you I do tend to overdo it on the pillows! I love them. Congratulations on your awards. Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteMillie , "Happy Holidays", heres to wishing you some great blogging in 2010! Enjoy and have a great Holiday with your family...Julie in Holland :)....
ReplyDeleteThe Capucine for me too, for its graceful curves, but I do like them all for their elegant simplicity and scope for adding coloured cushions. I'd have to give up red wine, I guess.
ReplyDeleteOops I was about to comment on ole misery MOTH, and this one popped up. Some gorgeous chairs here, you do need to do a lot of wriggling about in them to find which is just the most perfect one. (see below re MOTH)
ReplyDeleteThey are all great! It would be hard to pick just one. I'm envisioning a fabulous dining table with each of these chairs around it.
ReplyDeleteYou deserve every one of those awards!
ReplyDeleteNow onto those gorgeous chairs....
Love them all! I'd have a hard time choosing which one to get.
Hope the shopping went well. I don't know how you get gifts for all of those boys.
Happy Holidays Millie.
Thank you for putting a smile on my face for the last challenging year my dear.

ReplyDeleteI love Pimpernell one of my fav shops in London - I have a few treasures from there over the years - they do alot of great vintage stuff. I have always wanted one of the chairs though - heaven!
