Twee fauteuils 1895

"Twee fauteuils" is a design plate from 1895 by Léon Laroche depicting two fanciful armchair designs, each rendered in delicate watercolors. The artist presents two different iterations of a design with one being a light blue armchair with a colorful fringe and trim and the other a lavender chair with a striped upholstery and tasseled trim. The illustrations were likely intended for furniture makers or interior designers, showcasing fashionable styles for armchairs in the late 19th century. This plate is a charming example of the design trends and artistic style of the period.
