Settee 1880 - 1890

"Settee" is a piece of furniture created by Lawrence Alma-Tadema between 1880 and 1890. The settee's design features intricate, stylized floral motifs and a geometric pattern, reminiscent of classical Greek and Roman art. The rich tapestry-like upholstery with its golden and black embellishments adds a luxurious touch. This piece is a testament to Alma-Tadema's interest in historical detail and his fascination with the decorative arts of antiquity, which he incorporated into his paintings and furniture. This Settee is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
