The seat and the file … more Very beautiful louis-philippe period shepherdess, in the louis xv style. Large comfortable but elegant chair. The seat and the file are well padded (as well as the armrests) to give it a very comfortable and soft seat. The feet are curved, the wood is solid and upholsterers cross the bottom of the seat and the left and right sides of the armrests. This armchair is lined with a fine tapestry cream with plant and floral patterns, grape clusters, knots and foliage. The tapestry has a fine and delicate decoration in light tones. Note: the upholstery presents some brands of time (wear or tears) (especially on the edges of armrests). France - around 1800 the louis xiv style is a style of furnishings covering more or less the period of the reign of louis xiv (1661 to 1715). This style is characterized by the majesty and the richness of its furniture. The louis xiv style succeeds the louis xiii style. The furniture is more and more luxurious, but unlike previous styles, it is hardly inspired by architecture. There are two types of furniture: ceremonial furniture richly decorated with veneers and inlays (especially at andré-charles boulle), golden solid wood and bourgeois furniture in solid wood. The style is especially characterized by absolute symmetry and an important and ostentatious dimension. The louis xiv style is of italian and ancient inspiration. The style appeared with the advent of the reign of louis xiv in 1661 and continued until the end of the 17th century. In 1690, on the death of lebrun, the king's decorator, the style declined and was gradually replaced by the regency style. The palace of versailles is obviously extremely and permanently marked by the louis xiv style. Its long reign made it possible to impose the unique style of the great century and to permanently mark the decorative arts of this period of classicism. The louis xiv style will also reach its peak when the royal court settled in versailles in 1682. less
