Directoire

Directoire style is a period of decorative arts, fashion, and particularly furniture design in France Post-Revolution, from 1795 to 1804. This style is characterized by Neoclassical architectural forms, minimal carving, veneers, and decorative painting. It is named for the French Directory, the governing committee of the time.

Ormolu

French gilding technique of applying finely ground gold with a mercury amalgam to an object of bronze. High heat is applied in a kiln burning off the mercury and leaving behind the gold affixed to the bronze and is finished by hand-chasing. Also known as gilt-bronze or bronze doré. Often used to refer to bronze furniture mounts enhanced by gilding.
