the louis xv style is an artistic style, especially prevalent in the decorative arts, that developed during the reign of louis xv (1715-1774). Initially, the term "louis xv style" referred to a characteristic type of chair, but it quickly spread to all the arts of the period. This style was created by cabinetmakers as a result of significant technical advancements in the manufacture of wooden furniture. It is closely associated with the rococo architectural style. Like rococo, it features profuse decoration and attention to detail, in contrast to the later, simpler "louis xvi style." See less
