What does it mean if a guitar is parlor size?

Parlor-size guitars are smaller than standard-size acoustic guitars, with a body length typically ranging from 12 to 14 inches. They have a narrower waist and a less pronounced curve to the body than other acoustic guitar shapes, giving them a distinctive, boxy look. Parlor guitars are known for their warm, mellow tone and are often used for fingerstyle playing or as travel guitars due to their compact size. They were a popular choice for home use and parlor entertainment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, hence the name "parlor guitar." While less common today, parlor-size guitars still have a niche following among players who appreciate their unique sound and feel.
