A classic chair uses construction methods, materials, shapes or colors used in previous historical periods, normally before the 20th century. Form, finish and materials may vary with the epoch. For example, a Louis XIV style chair may be broader and more rectilinear than a Louis XV chair, which has more rounded features.
These chairs can be part of a set or a standalone piece. A single chair may be used with a small table, such as a dressing table, while a set of period chairs may be used in a dining room. A classic chair constitutes a luxurious addition to conference rooms, restaurants and bars. Some are stackable to facilitate storage.
Consider whether the chair will complement other period furnishings or be used to contrast with a more contemporary environment. Another factor is required maintenance. Chairs upholstered with special fabrics can be difficult to maintain or to replace, a particular concern for commercial environments such as restaurants and conference facilities.
