Design for a Settee 19th century

This 19th-century design for a settee, currently in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the intricate details of furniture design during this period. The settee features a light blue fabric with an ornate, gilded frame. The design is a delicate balance of curves and straight lines, creating a sense of elegance and refinement. The inclusion of a delicate backsplash, likely to be draped with fabric, emphasizes the settee's intended place within a luxurious interior. This anonymous artwork is a fascinating window into the aesthetic preferences of the 19th-century and the craftsmanship involved in furniture creation.
