Porter's chairs originated in 16th-century France,  they were used as chairs for hall porters to sit in while they kept watch at the doors of grand homes and palaces. The high backs and sides were designed to keep out the draughts.

An essential position in the homes of the well-to-do, the hall porter was the gatekeeper, admitting or refusing callers based on his memory for faces and names of his employer's acquaintances.
