HISTORY The Louis XVI style, popular from the late 18th century, embodies neoclassicism with its straight lines, symmetry, and classical motifs. This style emerged as a reaction against the more ornate and extravagant Rococo period, emphasizing simplicity and elegance. Furniture from this era often features fluted legs, rosette carvings, and restrained ornamentation. Benches like this one were commonly used in entryways, salons, and bedrooms, providing both seating and a decorative element. The combination of carved wood, gilt accents, and fine upholstery reflects the refined taste of the period. Pieces in this style remain highly sought after for their timeless appeal and ability to blend with various interior designs. Pickup category timeslot {A}
