1860Ottomane D'encoignere (Genre Louis XV), lithograph
A central, symmetrical illustration of a highly ornate, curved sofa (méridienne or settee) designed in the Louis XV style. The piece is presented against a plain, architectural background, emphasizing its form and detailing. The composition is dominated by the furniture piece, which is framed by text and numbering typical of an architectural or design publication.
The image appears to be a detailed black-and-white lithograph or engraving, characteristic of 18th or 19th-century design publications. The rendering emphasizes fine lines, curves, and decorative motifs.
