That cane chair is not French tufted. Button tufting is different from French tufting. French tufting involves folds between the tufts as in this beautiful french antique. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/avecsavoirfaire/furniture/carbedbed2.jpg
Or the Chloe sofa from Macy's for a modern interpretation. http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=351454&CategoryID=42862
Button tufting just doesn't have the same depth and elegance.
Oh, I just want someone to tuft me a headboard like Don and Betty's on Mad Men.
