1. The Baroque chair: Opulence and grandeur

A legacy of the 17th century, the Baroque style is characterized by its generous forms, elaborate details and noble materials. A baroque chair stands out for its stature, often embellished with gilding, velvet and arabesque motifs. It is the expression of a desire for opulence and grandeur, reflecting the aspirations of the European courts of the time.

2. Louis XV: Rococo at its peak

The Louis XV style, often associated with Rococo, is lighter and more airy than Baroque. Chairs from this era feature sinuous curves, curved legs and delicate floral patterns. They reflect a time when the French art of living is synonymous with refinement and grace.

3. Louis XVI: The return to classical simplicity

In reaction to the extravagance of the Louis XV style, the Louis XVI returned to straighter and cleaner lines. Chairs of this style favor symmetry, with ornaments inspired by antiquity such as motifs of garlands, lyres or vases. The emphasis is on elegant sobriety, while maintaining a high level of finish.

4. Art Deco: Modernity and glamour

Born at the beginning of the 20th century, the Art Deco style is distinguished by its bold geometry, clean lines and stylized patterns. Art Deco chairs, with their cubic shapes, shiny materials such as chrome or lacquer, evoke a time of prosperity, innovation and glamour.

Each style, with its specificities, tells a story, evokes an era and reflects aesthetic aspirations.
