The furniture of the Louis XV period (1715–1774) is characterized by curved forms, lightness, comfort and asymmetry;
it replaced the more formal, boxlike and massive furniture of the Louis XIV style.
It employed marquetry, using inlays of exotic woods of different colors, as well as ivory and mother of pearl.
The style had three distinct periods. During the early years (1715–1730), called the Regency, when the King was too young to rule,
furniture followed the massive, geometric Style Louis XIV style. From 1730 until about 1750, the period known as the first style,
it was much more asymmetrical, ornate and exuberant, in the fashion called rocaille.
From about 1750 to the King’s death in 1774, a reaction set in against the excesses of the rocaille.
The Louis XV style showed the influences of Neo-classicism, based on recent archaeological discoveries in Italy and Greece.
It featured Roman and Greek motifs. The later furniture featured decorative elements of Chinoiserie and other exotic styles.
Louis XV furniture was designed not for the vast palace state rooms of the Versailles of Louis XIV, but for the smaller,
more intimate salons created by Louis XV and by his mistresses, Madame de Pompadour and Madame DuBarry.
