Louis XVI Furniture

LOUIS XVI STYLE

Reflecting the final era of royal opulence before the upheaval of the French Revolution, antique Louis XVI furniture features more angular shapes than the Rococo curves of the Louis XV style, harkening back to the imposing grandeur of Louis XIV.

Dating between 1750 and 1800, an era that overlapped with the last king of France whose reign was cut short by the guillotine, Louis XVI furniture, known as the goût grec, is emblematic of the neoclassical revision that French furniture underwent during the second half of the 18th century.

Authentic Louis XVI furniture characteristics include clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. This was informed by a burgeoning interest in antiquity in the 18th century, owing to new archaeological excavations at sites including Pompeii and Herculaneum. It largely eclipsed the more East Asian–influenced ornamentation of Louis XV for something more geometric and symmetrical.

The Louis XVI style was defined by what was being created for the palatial rooms at Versailles and Fontainebleau, particularly for the queen, with cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener being a favorite of Marie-Antoinette’s for his luxurious pieces accented with gilded bronze and marquetry. Furniture maker Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené was also a major designer of the period, with his pieces for the royal residences adorned with giltwood and neoclassical touches like tapered columns for chair legs and laurel leaf carvings. Cabinetmaker Adam Weisweiler occasionally incorporated into his furniture porcelain panels produced by Sèvres, a popular manufacturer of European ceramics that served the crown with serveware, vases and other decorative objects.

Louis XVI Style Canapé & Fauteuils from the 1938 Movie “Marie Antionette”
Located in Alexandria, VA
These 3 stunning antique pieces are noteworthy for their beauty, exquisite design and craftsmanship alone. But added to that is their history as artifacts from Hollywood’s Golden Age. In the early 1930’s Irving Thalberg, head of Metro Goldwyn Mayer studio in Hollywood, sent the art director Edwin B. Willis to Paris to purchase furnishings appropriate for creating sets depicting the interiors of the Palace of Versailles for the Movie “Marie Antionette”, one of the most expensive movies of the 1930’s. The movie starred his wife Norma Shearer, Tyrone Power, John Barrymore, and Gladys George. This Canapé en Corbeille and pair of matching fauteuils were selected for the set of Madame du Barry’s (Louis XV’s mistress) salon. Following this movie it was used by the studio in many other films including : "Ninotchka" (1939),"New Moon" (1940),"Reunion in France" (1942),"Meet Me in St. Louis" (1944),"Mrs. Parkington" (1944),"Madame Bovary" (1949),"An American in Paris" (1951), "Kind Lady" (1951),"The Swan" (1956),"Gigi" (1958),"Two Weeks in Another Town" (1962), "Made in Paris" (1966)," and Fitzwilly" (1967). From watching these movies we can tell you that Leslie Caron sang a song sitting on the canape. Joan Crawford sat on it in “Reunion in France” and Grace Kelly in “The Swan”. When MGM’s props...
