Hemelbed met draperieën 1885 - 1895

"Hemelbed met draperieën" (1885 - 1895), by Léon Laroche, is a detailed illustration of a four-poster bed with elaborate draperies. The design shows the bed in full detail, including the headboard, footboard, and canopy, along with the intricate patterns of the fabric and the decorative trimmings. The image also includes a schematic diagram of the bed's structure and individual components. This style of illustration was common during the late 19th century, combining visual representation with technical drawings. This work demonstrates both the artistic aesthetic of the period and the practical needs of furniture making.
