Siège destiné à observer les joueurs de cartes [...] Les femmes se placent à genoux sur le siège, les hommes s'assoient à califourchon, c'est pour cela que les voyelles d'hommes possèdent un siège rétréci du côté du dossier. Ce siège apparaît au milieu du XVIIIe siècle. Il comporte quelquefois, surtout à la fin du siècle, un coussin mobile comme les bergères. 2, record 2, French, - voyeuse
