Salon, drawing room and parlour suites, 18th to 20th century

A Victorian and Edwardian term for a suite comprising a gentleman's chair, lady's chair, a settee and four or six upright chairs. The Edwardian version is also known as a Parlour Suite.

A long couch dating from the late 17th century, similar to a sofa with arms at either end. Unlike the upholstered sofa, however, the settee usually has a shaped wooden splat back, similar to dining chairs. In Australia, any small couch is sometimes known as a settee.
