I prefer the rather busty choice #1; I'm a sucker for the simple white fabric. Tres chic!
The white is lovely, to be sure, but the second one would fit in very well as a conversation piece just inside my livingroom.
I like the lighter colors of the fabric in the 1st one. But the details of the chair in the 2nd are my favorite.
I completely agree with Heather!
I like the first one better. I like that it is white. I also like the design better on it.
The white one is very pretty, but it would never do for my guests.
There is always champagne spilling and food being dropped. I would go with colors for just that reason!
I love the 2nd chair it's much simpler it can go with anything
I agree with @Heather, besides what are those egyptian figures incrusted in the first chateau?? I think they are completly out of topic.
I like the Chatard one. It's more ornate and elegant, I think.
Both are beautiful, but I like the second one better. Even though the embroidery is more ornate, I think lines of it seem a bit more comfortable. Very elegant.
I'm in the #1 chair camp. Love it!!!
I like the second one because it would hide dirt better. But, then, I guess all of the servants would keep it in pristine condition, wouldn't they?
Now that I revisit them... I could put them to use in different rooms for various reasons... like taking tea or gossiping!
