France mid-20th century the louis XIV style is a style of furnishing covering more or less the period of the reign of louis XIV (1661 to 1715). This style is characterized by the majesty and richness of its furniture. The louis XIV style succeeds the louis XIII style. The furniture is becoming more and more luxurious, but unlike previous styles, it is almost no longer inspired by architecture. There are two types of furniture: ceremonial furniture richly decorated with veneers and inlays (especially at andré-charles boulle), gilded solid wood and bourgeois furniture in solid wood. The style is characterized above all by absolute symmetry and a large and ostentatious dimension. The louis XIV style is of italian and antique inspiration. The style appeared with the advent of the reign of louis XIV in 1661 and lasted until the end of the seventeenth century. In 1690, on the death of lebrun, decorator of the king, the style declined and was gradually replaced by the regency style. The palace of versailles is obviously extremely and durably marked by the louis XIV style. His long reign made it possible to impose the unique style of the grand siècle and to leave a lasting mark on the decorative arts of this period of classicism. The louis XIV style also reached its peak when the royal court moved to versailles in 1682.
