H_55 cm W_80 cm H_71 cm Ployant chairs have almost always been protocol seats reserved for sovereign courts. The use of seats at court is entirely linked to respect for rules of precedence or etiquette. Thus, in the presence of the king or queen, both seated on a chaise à bras, the only people allowed to sit, and only on a tabouret (or ployant), were sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters of France, princesses of the blood and foreign duchesses and princesses. Princes de sang, cardinals, dukes and peers remained standing like all the others. Several ployants similar to this pair are known, most of them by François or Nicolas Quinibert Foliot (Fig. 1).
