Additional Information

Style: Louis XV (1722-1774)

The chronological terms of this stylistic phase only approximately coincide with the years of the reign of the French sovereign (from 1722 to 1774).
It has in fact been seen that already in the period of the Orleans regency there are precognitions and extensive developments in the Rococo sense, and moreover since the 1950s the change in taste in the Neoclassical sense becomes full-blown fashion already around 1760.

Age:

19th Century / 1801 - 1900

19th Century / 1801 - 1900

18th Century / 1701 - 1800

18th Century / 1701 - 1800

Main essence:

Tulipwood

Obtained from some types of acacia, it is a hard essence, with purplish-colored veins, used in the inlays, in which, alongside the bois de rose, it generates beautiful contrasts. Also useful for making bronze accessories stand out.

Walnut

Walnut wood comes from the plant whose botanical name is juglans regia , probably originally from the East but very common in Europe. Light or dark brown in color, it is a hard wood with a beautiful grain, widely used in antique furniture. It was the main essence in Italy throughout the Renaissance and later had a good diffusion in Europe, especially in England, until the advent of mahogany. It was used for solid wood furniture and sometimes carvings and inlays, its only big limitation is that it suffers a lot from woodworm. In France it was widely used more than anything else in the provinces. In the second half of the eighteenth century its use decreased significantly because mahogany and other exotic woods were preferred.

Poplar

Essence considered "poor", it is a white wood, with yellowish or greyish shades, light and tender, which is easily damaged. It is used for rustic furniture or in the construction of furniture. The most valuable use it has had in the history of furniture is in Germany, in the 19th century, for veneers and inlays in the Biedermeier period.
