Whilst the Klismos form of seat furniture derives from ancient Greek
designs, it was revived again during both the 19th and 20th centuries.
Of particular note is the extravagant Villa Kerylos, a mansion built in
1902 in the style of the classical Greek, for Théodore Reinach a well
know archaeologist. The Villa built at Beaulieu-sur-Mer, is based on
an Athenian villa that was built during the 2nd century BC on the
island of Delos. The furniture, designed by Pontramoli, echoed the
Greek forms.
