This richly illustrated volume offers a systematic presentation of the Louis XV style, which dominated French art and furniture production between around 1720 and 1760. The focus is on the stylistic development of the so-called "Rocaille" decoration with its characteristic lines, inspired by natural forms as well as aquatic and mineral motifs. The work deals with all the trades involved - from ebenists and sculptors to porcelain and bronze artists - and sheds light on the various forms of expression and phases of the style.
