Historical Background and Influence from Ancient Art
The discoveries at the archeological sites at Herculaneum and Pompeii had a big impact on European artists and designers of this time and the European  Louis XVI style.
Madame de Pompadour, mistress of Louis XV, had sent a group of scholars to Italy to report on the findings. The engravings of Greek and Roman art inspired many furniture designers. Particularly the ebenistes, who were responsible for the design of the marquetry, studied these prints.
The so called Neoclassical phase emerged in Europe which resulted in a more geometrical design. The decorations moved away from the curved and playful Rococo and Louis XV style to a more severe and linear use of form.
