Details
The term "cheval" stems from the French word for "horse," referring to the supporting frame, which sometimes resembled a "clotheshorse" or "easel" (chevalet). They became popular in the late 18th and 19th centuries as technology allowed for large, single-sheet glass, making them a common feature in upscale, functional bedrooms.
