French Antiques: Rococo, Louis XV and Louis XVI Decor

Our French antiques are a small, carefully chosen group of original pieces: gilt Rococo and Louis XV furniture mounts, Louis XVI laurel, bow and fruit basket appliques, signed portrait miniatures and a Belle Époque gilt bronze jewelry box.

French Rococo and Louis XV

French Rococo, closely tied to the reign of Louis XV, favors flowing curves, shells, scrolls and asymmetry. Many of our antique furniture mounts are in this style, including female face mounts and floral appliques.

Louis XVI

Louis XVI style returned to straighter, classical lines, with laurel wreaths, ribbons, bows and swags. Our cast brass laurel wreath and bow appliques are typical of the period style.

Belle Époque and Portrait Miniatures

The Belle Époque, roughly 1871 to 1914, is known for decorative luxury. Our French portrait miniatures, including a portrait after Nattier of Madame Sophie of France, appear in our antique art collection as well.
