An antimacassar is a covering for the arms or back of a chair or couch designed to protect the fabric from soiling and staining. They are often hand made by crochet or can also be made from the same fabric as the couch/ chair, or contrasting fabric. Antimacassars generally come in a set for the head rest and the two arms. Historically were very popular in the over-dressed Victorian era of design.
