Confident 1895 - 1935

"Confident" (1895-1935) is a design for a Louis XV-style "petit confident" settee by Léon Laroche. The drawing depicts a single-seater settee with a curved back and elaborate rococo detailing. The piece is rendered in muted green and gold tones, typical of the 18th-century French Rococo style. This design was likely intended for publication in a furniture journal or catalogue, as evidenced by the accompanying text and title "Le Garde-Meuble." The inclusion of the publisher's name, "Vve E. Maigrent Aîné," further supports this notion. The piece was intended for reproduction, as indicated by the copyright notice.
