A rare and beautifully rendered original drawing from a 19th-century Parisian design atelier, this architectural drawing captures the timeless elegance of a Louis XVI fauteuil set in front of a panelled wall. Sketched in pencil on softly aged paper, the composition reveals the artistry of the French decorative tradition, with its fluted legs, carved floral rosettes, and a graceful back.Created circa 1850 as part of a master craftsman's portfolio, the drawing served as both reference and refinement, a working study that reflects the measured sophistication and poetic geometry of neoclassical design. The added upholstery fabric flourishes give it just the right touch of whimsy.Now newly reframed in a brushed gold surround with a double mat and museum-grade glass, the piece is both historical document and objet d’art. A wonderful addition to a bousoir, salon wall, or well curated interior. One of a kind. From a private collection curated by The Paris Apartment. From Paris, circa 1850."
