French Louis XV / Louis XVI Transition style Bedside Table Chiffonier - France

About the Item

Very pretty bedside table or chest of drawers opening with 4 drawers and featuring a spacer shelf in natural walnut wood from the 19th century. The feet are covered to add a touch of roundness and elegance. This adorable little table is Transition style, between Louis XV and Louis XVI. The carving of the walnut wood gives a lot of character to the piece of furniture. The woodwork is natural and elegant. The raw wood gives this small piece of furniture great decorative interest. This little side table is very charming. France - 19th The Transition style is a French style whose genesis can be dated very precisely to 1758 when the avant-garde collector Ange-Laurent de la Live de Jully ordered a series of furniture from the architect Louis-Joseph le Lorain - visible in France at Château de Chantilly — which contrasts with the taste of the time. The transition style is, as its name indicates, a style of aesthetic transition which will mark the evolution of Louis XV towards Louis XVI. Thus the Transition style marks the stylistic evolution which, in the second half of the reign of Louis XV and at the very beginning of the reign of Louis XVI, is characterized by the abandonment of the curves and movement of Rocaille in favor of straight, refined and symmetry.

  • French Armchair Bergere Louis-Philippe Period, Louis XV Style circa 1800, France
    Located in Beuzevillette, FR
    Very nice bergere armchair from the Louis-Philippe period, in the Louis XV style. Large comfortable but elegant armchair. The seat and back are well padded (as well as the armrests) to give it a very comfortable and soft seat. The legs are curved, the wood is solid and upholstery nails run through the bottom of the seat and the left and right sides of the armrests. This armchair is upholstered with a fine cream-coloured tapestry with vegetal and floral motifs, bunches of grapes, knots and foliage. The tapestry presents a fine and delicate decoration in light tones. Note: the upholstery has some marks of time (wear or tears) (especially on the edges of the armrests) France - circa 1800 The Louis XIV style is a furnishing style covering more or less the period of the reign of Louis XIV (1661 to 1715). This style is characterized by the majesty and richness of its furnishings. The Louis XIV style follows the Louis XIII style. The furniture is increasingly luxurious, but unlike previous styles, it is almost no longer inspired by architecture. There are two kinds of furniture: ceremonial furniture richly decorated with veneers and inlays (especially with André-Charles Boulle), solid gilt wood and bourgeois furniture in solid wood. The style is characterized above all by its absolute symmetry and an important and ostentatious dimension. The Louis XIV style is of Italian and ancient inspiration. The style emerged with the advent of the reign of Louis XIV in 1661 and lasted until the end of the 17th century. In 1690, on the death of Lebrun, decorator to the King, the style declined and was gradually replaced by the Regency style. The Palace of Versailles is obviously extremely and lastingly marked by the Louis XIV style. His long reign made it possible to impose the unique style of the Grand...
