Hi Did a little searching for gilt rout chairs and found the following: Corridor Stool: A long stool or bench with raised ends, made in mahogany from circa 1800, always without upholstery. Also known as a Rout Stool.http://www.designfusion-intl.com/DesignDirectory/antiquestyleglossary.htm……………… From Victorian London - Publications - Social Investigation/Journalism - Life in the London Streets, by Richard Rowe, 1881 - Chapter 14 - Plebeian Flower Shows [-200-] XIV. “Meanwhile, strolling or reclining on the [-205-] grass, and seated on very dusky rout-seats and rush-bottomed chairs beneath the welcome shadow of the trees…”http://www.victorianlondon.org/publications/lifein-14.htm…………………… In a book entitled, "One Doubtful Hour" written in 1904, there are several references to “rout-seats”: examples: "Effie stood upright by a rout-seat--not daring to sit down, lest she should be passed over by the young men in scarlet mess-jackets who were eagerly booking partners."
"...standing up by the rout-seats which lined the room..."http://www.indiana.edu/~letrs/vwwp/dixon/onedoubt.htmlHope that helps a little.
