Additional Information
Style: Louis Philippe (1830-1848)
The Louis Philippe style developed in a context characterized by two main factors: the expansion of the bourgeoisie and the advent of the industrialization of production processes.
This style therefore faces the decline of artisans and the new needs for economy and comfort.
Aesthetically, it takes elements from the past, especially from the Gothic and Renaissance, preferring very curved shapes for the backrests of the seats, roe deer legs and feet, with a very rich decoration.
It mainly uses dark woods: ebony, rosewood and mahogany, combined for contrast with light elements.
