Twee stoelen en canapé 1885 - 1895

"Twee stoelen en canapé" (Two chairs and a settee) is a design by Léon Laroche dating from between 1885 and 1895. The drawing shows two chairs and a settee in the Louis XV style. The chairs have ornate, carved frames and the settee is upholstered with a floral pattern. The design appears to be for a furniture collection published in the magazine *Le Garde-Meuble*, indicating that these pieces would have been intended for the contemporary market. The design reflects the continuing popularity of the rococo style in the late 19th century.
