We define the Louis XV furniture period by its elegance and fluidity. The period breathed new life into the older Baroque style, reinvigorating French furniture in myriad ways. In a sense, the Louis XV style is the French iteration of the Rococo. Curved forms, lightness, comfort, and asymmetry are all hallmarks of the style. Louis XV furniture styles frequently employed marquetry, using inlays of exotic woods of different colors, ivory, and mother of pearl. The furniture we find in this period features a flawless marriage between functionality and elegance. Chairs have curved legs, floral decorations, and comfortably padded seats and backs, for example, while still managing to sacrifice nothing in design. less
