Louis XV Antique Furniture
Pertaining to the styles in France between 1715-1774. Historians have traditionally treated Louis XV harshly. Yet more recent research has suggested that he was in fact very intelligent and dedicated to the task of ruling the largest kingdom of Europe. In a time where his forebears had ammassed lands and empires, some would argue, beyond their capability to fully control, his indecisiveness behind the mask of an imperious king, account for the poor results achieved during his reign.
Surprisingly, despite what some would call a failed ruling as king, Louis XV furniture remains emminently more popular than Louis XIV furniture, albeit (possibly) due to the sheer volume that was produced. As for the furniture itself, the style of furniture was essentially Rococo with soft, flowing lines, shell and flower ornamentation, rich upholstery, inlaying and painted furniture. The furniture, which was immensely popular in the period and unlike furniture from the previous reign, was cleverly adapted to suit the needs of all the different classes, from royal to provincial, and offered maximum comfort.
He reigned in France between 1715 and 1774 and was the grandson of Louis XIV and king of France from 1715 to 1774. He led France into the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War (1710-1774).
Still very popular, you will find antique furniture from this period below.
