More information

Bordspendylen torde vara inspirerad av Jacques-Louis Davids målning från år 1800 föreställande Madame Récamier. Soffans modell med utsvängda gavlar fick namnet Recamier efter denna målning. Julie Récamier(1777-1849) var en fransk intellektuell och salongsvärdinna. Hon höll under 1800-talets första trettio år en av Frankrikes mest berömda litterära salonger. Hon beskrivs som vacker, kultiverad och talangfull. Bland hennes bekanta fanns Karl Johan Bernadotte, Jean Victor Marie Moreau och Germaine de Staël.
