- Tete-a-Tete Settee, 1895-1915 - During a time when the rules of propriety were quite strict, this unusual seat physically separated young people of the opposite sex. But it still allowed their heads to come near for private conversation. Hence its name "tete-a-tete," which in French means "head-to-head."
