The Louis XVI style was born in France and was exported throughout Europe and then throughout the world. The antique and classic style greatly influenced Louis XVI style furniture and was one of its themes. The attraction to classicism is felt in the design of the furniture. The proportions and volumes are balanced, the elegance is sober and refined; The Petit Trianon, in the park of the Palace of Versailles, offered by King Louis XVI to Queen Marie-Antoinette, is a good example of the Louis XVI style: its inspiration comes from Greek antiquity, its lines are clearly straight, but for all this, a certain lightness emerges. Louis XVI leaves numerous traces of his passage and his investment in the Place de Versailles. Louis XVI period furniture is extremely elegant, geometric and of high quality.
