This antique text contains a fascinating treatise on the furniture of France from 1643 to 1793. The book has been split into three different sections: Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI.

This antique text contains a fascinating treatise on the furniture of France from 1643 to 1793. The book has been split into three different sections: Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI. The Louis XIV style is marked by dignity, grandeur, bold effects, lavish but not excessive ornament, and faultless workmanship. The Louis XV period marked the culmination of the rococo period of design, with the influence of Madame Pompadour's style. Less attention was paid to proportion and form than elaboration of detail. The Louis XVI style shows a return to simpler lines and more restrained and delicate ornament, under the influence of Marie Antoinette. Fine marquetry and painting were employed, and a lavish use of dainty florals. This is a great book for those with a keen interest in the history of French furniture, and is sure to appeal to collectors of such literature. We are proud to republish this antiquarian book complete with a new introduction on the history of furniture.
