Rococo Influence: The Louis XV style, also known as French Rococo, emerged during the reign of Louis XV (1723-1759) and is characterized by its emphasis on sinuous curves, intricate carvings, and an overall sense of lightness and grace, in contrast to the more rigid earlier styles.

Design Features: Common elements include curved backs, often with carved crest rails featuring floral or shell motifs, and cabriole legs that curve outwards and then taper down with decorative feet.

Materials: This chair features a finely carved wooden frame and sumptuous mahogany/plum colored leather attached with brass nailheads. See less
