Canapé 1895 - 1935

"Canapé Louis XVI," a design for a Louis XVI-style sofa, was created by Léon Laroche between 1895 and 1935. This detailed illustration, likely intended for a furniture catalogue, depicts the sofa in a light wood with intricate carvings and a green and gold striped upholstery. The design reflects the neoclassical aesthetic popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing inspiration from the refined elegance of the French Rococo period. The inclusion of the maker's name, "Vte MAU[R]ICENT Anci. 8. Rue de la Luzerne, à Paris," adds a historical and artisanal context to this charming decorative piece.
