This page from a scrapbook, created between 1795 and 1805, features numerous sketches and prints by celebrated French architect and designer Charles Percier. The drawings depict a range of architectural and interior elements, including furniture, vases, and decorative motifs. The inclusion of printed elements suggests Percier’s interest in collecting and referencing various design inspirations. This intimate glimpse into the creative process of a prominent figure of the Neoclassical era provides valuable insights into the artistic trends and design principles of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
