The aim of this handbook is to provide a better understanding of the furniture of old France. "French Furniture Under Louis XIV" offers excellent insights into the history and characteristics that define the Louis XIV style—simple in design yet adorned with sumptuous fabrics. It was in the last quarter of the eighteenth century that comfort began to take shape, leading to the widespread development of "bourgeois" furniture throughout the kingdom. The book includes a section of illustrative photos at the rear.
