In the Louis XV period, the new distribution of the apartments brings comfort and intimacy. The furniture corresponds in its forms as well as in its decoration to the evolution of French society. Comfort and pleasure are at the origin of small furniture and the triumph of the curved line.

The "flying" furniture, creations that adapt to this new way of life, are particularly light, elegant, and not very loaded with bronzes. They are intended to be moved from a room to the living room, or to the boudoir. Among these, we find mainly the writing table, the reading table, the Burgundy table, the standing writing table, the delivery table, the night table, the snack table, the coffee table, the book table, the chiffonière, or the game table.
The dressing tables with boxes, are one of the most appreciated creations of these delicate small pieces of furniture of the reign of Louis XV.

In our time, these are sought after, according to the number of combinations, their quality, and the reputation of the cabinetmaker.
