Design for the decoration of the stairway in the Château d'Ognon of M. deMachy (Oise, France) 1850 - 1900

This design for the decoration of a stairway, created between 1850 and 1900, features delicate ornamentation. Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise created this watercolor and pencil drawing, which depicts a decorative element for the Château d'Ognon. The design shows an intricate pattern of stylized leaves and scrolls surrounding a central oval containing a vase. This architectural detail exemplifies the refined taste of the period and offers insight into the aesthetic choices of the time. The drawing, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a valuable example of design work for interior decoration in the late 19th century.
