Beaux Arts furniture included chairs replicating models from the Renaissance and sofas inspired by Louis XIV. These pieces filled high-ceilinged rooms that featured tapestries fit for a medieval castle and were illuminated by crystal chandeliers reminiscent of those in European palaces. Leon Marcotte Company created furnishings for the White House mimicking the style of Louis XVI, while in France, cabinetmaker Louis Majorelle reproduced 18th-century pieces that would influence his later Art Nouveau style.
Students at the École des Beaux-Arts in 19th-century Paris meticulously sketched Roman and Greek art and architecture as part of a curriculum that elevated the classical world. This reverence for history informed the architecture and design being constructed in the French capital and beyond, where columns and pediments were joined with elements referencing the Renaissance and Baroque eras, culminating in grand civic buildings such as the Palais Garnier opera house constructed under Napoleon III.
Beaux Arts style, also known as Classical Eclecticism for its flamboyant mixing of influences, made its way to the United States in the late 19th century through American architects who studied in Paris, like Richard Morris Hunt and Charles Follen McKim. They designed monumental turn-of-the-century buildings like train stations, libraries, museums and mansions that featured soaring entry halls and grand stairways with nearly every surface embellished, from mosaic floors to stained-glass ceilings. The luxurious interiors of these Beaux Arts buildings, which weren’t crowded with objects as in the Victorian era, matched this spirit of opulence and embraced the past.

Rare Luxurious 24 Piece Baccarat Colbert Stemware Service for Eight
By Baccarat
Located in New York, NY
Colbert is one of Baccarat's most luxurious and important patterns, pairing well with the Tzar and Lagny patterns and created for the most discerning clientelle. The body of each goblet is hand cut with a elegant, complex series of spires reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower. Each glass is of substantial weight required for such superb decoration, subtly flared at the six sided stem with a well balanced facet cut knob at the base and round foot with a sunburst cut base. A pleasure to enjoy with fine wine and champagne. The Colbert service was created circa 1908 and has been out of production for many years. This pattern was apparently popular with Baccarat's Imperial Russian clientelle at the beginning of the 1900's. In 1912, a freighter bound for Saint Petersburg carrying a large order of Baccarat pieces ran aground off the coast of Antwerp. In 1999, the ship was discovered with a number of pieces in the Colbert pattern, surely meant for the well documented sumptuous feasts of the Russian nobility...
