window seat
Illustration — A window seat A window seat is a miniature sofa without a back, intended to fill the recess of a window. In the latter part of the 18th century, when tall narrow sash windows were almost universal, the window seat was in high favor, keeping with the formalism of Georgian interiors. It differed much in decorative detail but little in form.
