Twee fauteuils 1895

"Twee fauteuils" (1895) by Léon Laroche is a design plate showcasing two armchairs, both bearing the classic Louis XV style. The plate likely originated from a design magazine like L'Ameublement, a popular French publication dedicated to furniture and interior design. The elegant lines, delicate carvings, and pastel upholstery demonstrate the prevailing aesthetic of the late 19th century, when interest in historical styles like Rococo was experiencing a resurgence. The designs would have been intended for a wealthy clientele, who would appreciate the craftsmanship and luxurious details embodied in these designs.
