Neoclassical Furniture
The Neoclassical furniture era is an especially interesting antique period, because the classical eras of Ancient Greece and Rome directly inspired it. In this period, which came into being in the 18th century, we see a resurgence of long-lost classical motifs, the art and style of ancient Greco-Roman domains. We also know this style as the Louis XVI style, or ‘Louis Seize,’ for the eponymous French monarch who ruled at the outset of the French Revolution.
Neoclassical furniture is characterized by an unpretentious design which uses straight lines and plain veneers, sometimes embellished with geometric marquetry motifs. The style was popular all over Europe and fiound its equivalent in the American Federal Style.
