PEACOCK CHAIR

The peacock chair seems to have originated around the end of '800 in the Philippines. Is imported to America in the Victorian period and immediately became glamorous.
In the early 20's Norma Talmadge is photographed with bohemian fabric and dress on the famous chair. In the 60s and 70s peacock chair give way to hippie-chic. Brigitte Bardot was photographed on several occasions on a peacock chair, Marilyn was photographed by Cecil Beaton with a white fur, is the chair of Morticia Addams, and even after more than a century, the queen of boho-style, Sienna Miller obviously was photographed there, as well as Diane Kruger and Dakota Fenning, not to mention the constant editorials for Vogue that show us models lying on a peacock ... fantastic was Monica Vitti in "The Girl with the gun," and even Liz Taylor, Loretta Young,  and also I have a pic with peacock chair!!!

 La peacock chair sembra aver origine intorno alla fine dell' '800 nelle Filippine.
Viene importata in America nel periodo vittoriano e diventa subito glamour.
Intorno agli anni '20 Norma Talmadge si fa fotografare con abito e tessuti bohemian sulla celebre sedia. Negli anni '60-'70  la peackot incarna l'hippy-chic dell'epoca. Brigitte Bardot viene fotografata in più occasioni su una peacock chair, Cecyl Beaton vi immortala Marilyn con una pelliccia bianca, è la sedia di Morticia Addams, e ancora dopo più di un secolo la regina del boho-style, Sienna Miller non poteva che farsi fotografare lì, così come anche Diane Kruger e Dakota Fenning, per non parlare dei continui editoriali per Vogue che ci mostrano modelle adagiate su una peacock…fantastica Monica Vitti in "La ragazza con la pistola", e ancora Liz Taylor, Loretta Young, e anche io ho una foto con la peacock chair!!!
