Twee schouwen 1895

"Twee schouwen" (Two Fireplaces), a design print by Léon Laroche from 1895, showcases two distinct fireplaces, each with a unique architectural style. The left fireplace, marked "Cheminée genre anglais" (Fireplace, English style), features a simple, traditional design with white and blue tiled surround and a wooden mantelpiece. The right fireplace, also labeled "Cheminée genre anglais," adopts a more elaborate, decorative style with green tiles and intricate embellishments. This print, likely intended for interior design purposes, reflects the stylistic trends of the late 19th century, highlighting the popularity of English-inspired design elements.
