Louis XV style a curved shape
The Louis XV style grew out of the Regency style and focused on freedom of movement in shapes and spaces. In addition to maintaining an original look, the Louis XV style also inspired a new architectural style called Rococo. Using curved lines, the Louis XV style was an extremely popular choice for the French elite. The name rocaille for the carved wooden designs is a common symbol of the style.
Early Louis XV furniture was made of solid noble wood and decorated with intricate floral patterns. Unlike the Louis XVI style, the curved shape of a chest of drawers is more common. This style is characterized by asymmetrical designs and curved legs. In addition, the rounded legs and curved shape of a chest of drawers make it a unique piece of furniture. The sculptural legs of the chest of drawers are often highly stylized and have decorative marquetry.
