椅座有點低，且頂部具有襯墊扶手的椅子，專為牌局的男性觀眾而設計，使其在跨坐時，手臂或手肘能擱在頂部扶手上。本詞彙源自法語動詞「voir」，即「看」之意。約於西元1740年間，首度於法國問世，之後則在英國製造。若是指椅座更低、專為女性所製的此種椅子變化版，則使用「膝式觀牌椅」。

英文....	Chairs having a rather low seat and a padded top rail, designed to allow male spectators of card games to astride while resting their arms or elbows on the top rail. The term is derived from the French verb "voir," "to see." First made in France about 1740 and later in England. For a lower-seated variant of this chair designed for women, use "voyeuse á genoux."
荷蘭語....
