You know what I love? A lovely, lush silk brocade, like the kind you’d see on an 18th century, pre-French Revolution armchair. I’m talking big Rococo vibes, the more ornate the better, with full looping wreaths of flowers in designs that were anything but subtle. Because why be plain when you can be fancy instead?
