The neo-classical author (Louis XVI) appears already under Louis XV and the Restoration continues with the Board of directors and the Empire, to go on in the style.

Louis XVI shows his taste for the straight line, but which is not synonymic of steepness or of poverty. The built are in oak, the veneers to there flood some, in mahogany.

The typical ornaments :

Rosettes ; marguerites on the cube of the belt of the seats ; porcelain medallions ; lyres, baskets of basketwork, hot-air balloons openwork in the files of the seats ; festoons (rehearsal of the same motive) ; distort binding ; rectangles in decorated re-entrant angles each of a rosette ; grooves of the feet of furniture and of seats ; the crossed off mask borrowed from the style Louis XIV " Boulle " but surmounted of a raised bow on the head of hair ; the bows ; the small dishes ; the rosary of plastres and of pearls ; the oval, flat medallion and without border, surmounted of a bow.

Under Louis XVI, the work of marquetry will be made with more mastery than under Louis XV, but the marquetry begins to tire the public who prefers to contemplate the beautiful natural combinations (overalls) drawn by the veins of the wood.

A curiosity : furniture are redone Boulle with brass marquetry and d'écaile and furthermore the authentic Boulle are restored in very pathetic state.

If you love Louis XVI, it are perfect furniture for the modern inside and the same extreme reactionary modern.
