    The Louis XV style covers a period from 1725 to 1760, a new and precious style, it is also called Rocaille style because the rocaille remains the preferred ornament, it is also called Rococo style or Pompadour style.

    The distinction is made during this period between the furniture of apparat and the usual furniture, it is also the great time of the cabinetmakers, of the floral or geometrical marquetries, of the taste for the exoticism and of the arrival of a number of small pieces of furniture related to the need for comfort, like the secretaries, the dusters, the bedside tables, etc...

    Louis XV furniture is a must in the history of decorative arts!
    It is referred to as "the moment of perfection of French art".

    Even today, while furniture is essentially based on straight lines and parallelepipedal volumes, the curved Louis XV-style legs are still very popular.
    Like a soft and refined touch to counterbalance the more austere forms.
