19th century period - Louis XV style - France

The Louis XV style succeeds the Regency style. It is also called the Rocaille or Rococo style. The inventors of the Louis XV style are true creators in the modern sense of the term, revolutionizing the way we think about furniture and interior decoration. In this regard, it can be compared to the Gothic style and Art Nouveau in the sense that they represent creation and technical advances in the use of materials. The Pompadour, transition and Louis XVI styles will succeed the Louis XV style which will remain an inspiration found in each of these 3 styles. Many Louis XV style pieces can still be found today at the Palace of Versailles.
