Leunstoel 1784 - 1785

"Leunstoel" (Armchair) is a technical drawing created by Pierre Claude Delagardette, a French artist known for his designs, between 1784 and 1785. The drawing, now held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases a swivel armchair with a unique design that allows the user to rotate without getting up. Delagardette presents a detailed view of the chair's construction, including its front, profile, and the base of the rotating mechanism. This drawing is an excellent example of technical design drawings from the 18th century and is a valuable resource for understanding furniture design and construction during this period.
