Historical Background
From 1789 to 1804, French furniture took a sharp turn, condemning anything associated with
the Ancien Régime.
Previously predominant themes revolving around royal extravagance, noble power, and privilege were now perceived negatively.
While this period was economically and socially troubled, personal wealth among private citizens grew. And as it did, so did the demand for furniture.
Directoire furniture preserves the elegant and stately characteristics of earlier periods.
But, like Gustavian design, the Directoire style is much more restrained. This moderation is evident in the elongated, uncomplicated shapes and clear lines of most pieces.
Inexpensive materials like elm, walnut, fruitwood, beech, and other woods were the materials of choice for Directoire furniture.
