Louis XVI style dining table, late 19th century. Walnut wood and walnut veneer. Gilt bronze ornaments. Needs refinishing. Measurements: 80 cm (height); 115 cm (diameter). The Louis XVI style contrasts with the Louis XV style by its simplicity, lightness of form and restraint. It returns to the rigour of geometric and rectilinear shapes taken from classical architecture: the rectangle, the square, the circle and the oval, mainly. As can be seen in the round table shown here, the decorative elements are also austere. The shapes of the decorations are symmetrical and the inspiration is to be found in nature and ancient themes. The rocaille disappears and in its place are inserted ornamental details based on classical motifs such as garlands, palms, roses, flaming torches, laurel wreaths, spheres, etc., but always in moderation, without exaggeration, generally in the upper part of the piece of furniture. These pieces of furniture are also smaller than those in the Louis XV style, and many are portable.
