During the Louis XV period, the new layout of the apartments brought comfort and privacy.

The furniture corresponds in its forms as in its decoration to the evolution of the mores of French society.

Comfort and pleasure are at the origin of the small furniture and the triumph of the curved line.

The “flying” pieces of furniture, creations that adapt to this new way of life, are particularly light, elegant, and not very heavy with bronzes.
They are intended to be moved, from a bedroom to the living room, or to the boudoir.

Among these, we mainly find the writing table, the reading table, a Burgundy table, the standing writing table, the delivery table, night table, snacks, coffee, work , the chiffonier, or the game table. Box dressing tables are one of the most popular creations of these delicate little pieces of furniture from the reign of Louis XV.

In our time, these are sought after, according to the number of combinations, their craftsmanship, and the notoriety of the cabinetmaker.
