Banquet - pouffes - benches

Introduced during the late eighteenth century by the Ottoman Empire, these furnishings typically took on circular or octagonal forms. The banquet, a versatile piece of furniture primarily designed for bedrooms or hallways, boasted exceptional functionality due to its shape, making it an ideal addition to children’s rooms as well. Antique banquets or pouffes from this era often exhibited intricate designs, adorned with vibrant, embroidered, or woven fabric textiles, thereby transforming them into distinctive and vintage decorative elements.
