There were three other “_chaises cacquetoires_ like the three chairs just mentioned, estimated at four livres dix sols apiece.” In Cardinal Mazarin’s inventory, there was “an old _chaise à perroquet_” covered with _moquette_ (a kind of velvet or woolen tapestry), and in the inventory of the Garde Meuble, ten _perroquets_ covered with “_tripe_” (a kind of red panne velvet) occur. Another kind of chair is the “_chaise voyeuse_.” The seat of this is quite high and the top rail resting upon the side supports (which are continuations of the back legs) is supplied with a _manchette_ (cushion), upon which one may rest his elbows while watching the play at the card table. The back of this chair is shaped like a violin, or a _bidet_. These chairs are mentioned in many old inventories such as Cardinal Mazarin’s Fontainebleau, Versailles, etc. In Fontainebleau in the _salons de jeux_ were “four _voyeuses en prie-dieu_” and “two _voyeuses en bidets_.” The _lit de repos_, or _chaise longue_ (see Plate VIII.) is an elongated seat. As a rule, this couch, or seat, is six feet long, and upon it rests a mattress or cushion. It is also furnished with a bolster, which should be covered with the same material as the mattress and back. Being exactly the width of the seat, it is placed below the back at right angles to the mattress. Sometimes this piece of furniture has elbows, and sometimes it has only turned supports at the sides of the back. Many of the handsome tables were of a fashion that was continued through the succeeding reign, being of richly carved and gilded wood with hind’s feet or with term legs with or without stretchers. Some of them were enriched with gilded bronze, and incrustations and marquetry work of shell, copper and other metal. The tops, like those of the preceding reign, were frequently of marble or marquetry. They were also covered with a cloth and a _housse_ of leather, serge, tapestry, etc. The table-carpet, as a rule, reached to the floor and was garnished with a narrow or wide fringe. This was the _housse_, and above it was a second cloth (see Frontispiece). These table-coverings were either simple or rich, according to the purse or fancy of the owner. Cardinal Mazarin, for example, had four table-coverings of crimson damask flowered, bearing the arms of his Eminence; four of “red crimson” Turkey leather trimmed with gold fringe and gold tassels and lined with red taffeta, and a green flowered damask table-carpet with four sides, lined with green cloth and trimmed with gold fringe _à la Romaine_. One of the handsomest varieties of table appears as a full drawing on Plate II.
