Historical Background
It was the era of Louis XIV when commodes emerged as fashionable items. These new furniture pieces used two to four drawers, effectively replacing chests.
His successor, Louis XV reigned from 1715-1774. This period reinvigorated French furniture and breathed new life into the older Baroque style.
A
Two parts compose the Louis XV style: The Rocaille or Rococo period (1720-1755) and Louis XV proper (1750-1774). Both forms share many similarities, motifs, and inspiration.
The primary motifs used to decorate furniture and other pieces were Rocaille and coquille, the French words for rock and shell respectively.
Baroque furniture caters to robust design and balance, while the ornate details of Rococo were purposefully feminine and romantic. They are more graceful and place less of an emphasis on symmetry.
