| Directoire Daybed for sale - $600. firm - contact me by email |
The Directoire style was primarily established by the architects and designers Charles Percier (1764–1838) and Pier François Léonard Fontaine (1762–1853). In its use of Neoclassical architectural form and decorative motifs the style anticipates the slightly later Empire style.
I can see this daybed in a kids room or nursery. It is very solid. Here are some photos to inspire you.

Valorie, thanks so much for the inspirational daybed post. My husband happened to inherit a daybed from his mother. It's covered in a 1960's harvest gold, rust and avacado floral print that has been a thorn in my side since the day it was brought into the house. I have slipcovered it and it makes for nice seating in the basement pool room. After seeing these photos, I am seeing it in a whole new light and you've given me some great ideas for updating it.
ReplyDeleteActually, that's "pool table" room. We don't have a pool......:)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a place for it...so lovely! Can't wait to see what you put in its place!
